Burma-Myanmar: Chinland Defence Force (CDF) fighters injure two soldiers in clashes with military junta forces
Local resistance fighters in the southern Chin State town of Kanpetlet say they injured two members of the junta’s armed forces in a pair of attacks on Thursday night.
The Chinland Defence Force (CDF) said it clashed twice with soldiers late Thursday night—once outside a branch of the state-owned Myanma Economic Bank at around 9pm, and again at a police outpost at around midnight.
“Our side didn’t suffer any casualties. Two on their side were injured. But no deaths have been reported so far,” a spokesperson for the CDF told Myanmar Now.
He added that there are no military bases in Kanpetlet, and just one police outpost.
Kanpetlet has seen massive protests since the military seized power on February 1, and many of its civil servants, especially those in the health and education sectors, have joined the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) against military rule.
