Aizawl: In a dramatic escalation of tensions, Champhai district in Mizoram is on red alert as the Myanmar Army engaged in a fierce clash with the pro-democratic force, Chinland Defence Force (CDF). On Monday, Myanmar Army jet fighters dropped two bombs near Rihkhawdar village, just 4 kilometers from Mizoram’s Zokhawthar village.
The conflict erupted after CDF reportedly took control of a Myanmar Army camp in Rihkhawdar Village. The retaliatory airstrikes intensified the already heated exchange of fire on the Indo-Myanmar border close to Mizoram. Fortunately, there have been no reported damages on the Indian side of the border.
Champhai’s Deputy Commissioner, James Lalrinchhana, stated, “Fighting started on Sunday evening and continued through the night. There are also reports of bombing close to the international border, but there’s no damage on the Indian side.
