Over 3,000 Flee to Mizoram Following Armed Clashes In Myanmar's Chin State
Intense fighting between two armed Chin groups in Myanmar has forced more than 3,000 civilians to flee into Mizoram's Champhai district, the police said. According to a senior Champhai district police official, at least 2,845 people from Khawmawi and Rihkhawdar villages, which border Mizoram, have sought refuge in Zokhawthar village since Saturday morning. The mass exodus follows violent clashes between the Chinland Defence Force-Hualngoram (CDF-Hualngoram) and the Chin National Defence Force (CNDF).
