Kyin Dway town of Chin State was captured on 29 April by an organised
offensive engineered by the Arakha Army (AA) fighters and Chin resistance
forces.
The town was besieged following a series of attacks since 22
December 2023 by the joint forces of Chin Brotherhood, Chin Defense
Force (CDF), People's Defense Force (PDF) and AA fighters. Finally it was
occupied after four months of battles, reported local media outlets.
During the clashes, the junta soldiers conducted multiple airstrikes on various
villages causing damages to residential houses and schools. Some
residents also sustained injuries.
On 23 April, CDF leaders expressed gratitude in a statement
saying, "We are extremely grateful to the AA for all their
assistance in the battle to capture Kyin Dway town."
Chin Brotherhood members led the attack on the town with the support from
Zomi Federal Union (ZFU), Chin National Organization (CNO),
Chin National Council (CNC-Mindat), Chin Defense Force (CDF-Kampetlet) and
Chinland Defense Force (CDF-Matupi).
