CNF says it will prepare for air defense in Chin State

 Preparation will be made for air defense in Chin State due to sporadic airstrikes by the military council, said Salai Htet Ni, Spokesperson of Chin National Front (CNF) said.

“We are making preparations for air defense. We don’t have any big weapons we can shoot. We can’t do it alone to defend against airstrikes. We are working with our partner organizations across the country. We will continue to do it,” he added.

At present, the military council force is becoming weaker and weaker. It is using the guerrilla system in Chin State and relies mainly on aircraft rather than heavy weapons.

Salai Htet Ni said that we have prepared for military strategy as much as possible to fight the military council force.

The military council dropped bombs in downtown Thantlang of Chin State, twice with two jet fighters from 12.45 pm to 1.10 pm on 10 October. There were no reports of any casualties from our side, Salai Htet Ni, Spokesperson of the CNF said.

The bombing of the Mung Lai Hkyet IDP camp near Laiza of Kachin State at night on 9 October vividly shows the military council’s violence, he continued.

ÒFor that, we will not be afraid. The public will not be afraid. Because no one will accept the actions of the military council, and hatred will grow, he continued.

Chinland Defense Forces (CDFs) attacked the Light Infantry Battalion-269 military camp in Thantlang of Chin State on 28 August.

On 12 August, the CDFs attacked 168 military headquarters based in Falam and seized arms.
