Anti-junta resistance forces in Chin State say they are expecting intense clashes in the conflict-hit township of Mindat after their fighters killed a Tatmadaw battalion commander last week.
A spokesperson for the Chinland Defence Force (CDF) said the commander, a lieutenant colonel, died during a clash along the Mindat-Matupi highway early on Friday morning.
Military-controlled newspaper The Mirror announced on Saturday that lieutenant colonel Zaw Zaw Soe, 48, died at around 6.15am while on duty, though it did not give details of where or how he died.
