Last Thursday, the Chin National Army (CNA), the armed wing of the Chin National Front (CNA), clashed with the Zomi Revolutionary Army (ZRA) after the latter ambushed the former near the small village of Lai Thwi on the Tedim – Rihkhawdar road in Tedim township in northern Chin State.
After minutes of exchanged gunfire, ZRA troops retreated from the clash location, and CNA soldiers cleared the area, seizing some of the military equipment and uniforms left behind by the Zomi armed group.
“Nobody was injured from our side during the clash,” CNF/CNA spokesperson Salai Htet informed Khonumthung News. ZRA also came out of the altercation unscathed, he mentioned.
Since the coup, there have been numerous clashes between ZRA and CNA, as well as its allies, Tonzang Chinland Defense Force (CDF) and the other CDFs. According to these groups, ZRA has been assisting the military regime by collaborating with its armed forces in northern Chin State.
