Myanmar junta chief, China FM discuss ‘stability’ as clashes rage

CLASHES

Clashes between the military and ethnic armed groups in Shan state continued on Wednesday.

Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) fighters were battling junta troops in the Shan state towns of Hsipaw and Naungcho, its Major-General Tar Bhone Kyaw told AFP.

AFP has contacted the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), another group fighting in northern Shan for comment.

Earlier this month MDNAA fighters captured the military’s northeastern command in the town of Lashio, home to about 150,000 people.

The capture of the regional command – the first by opponents of the junta since the military’s 2021 coup – sparked rare public criticism of the top generals by its supporters.

Min Aung Hlaing later said the alliance was receiving weapons, including drones and short-range missiles, from “foreign” sources that he did not identify.
