Mizoram: Indian side was unaffected by Myanmar aerial strikes along border – Assam Rifles
AIZAWL- Two days after the Myanmar military reportedly bombed a rebel camp along the country’s border with India, with some local leaders claiming that one shell fell in Mizoram’s Champai district, the Assam Rifles (AR) on January 12 rebuffed the assertion stating that the Indian side was unaffected by the aerial strikes.
Lalramliana, the president of Farkawn village council in Champai, however, said that a bomb was dropped near Tiau river on the Mizoram side.
A truck owned by a village council member has been damaged in the explosion, he said.

The Myanmar military junta, on Tuesday, reportedly launched aerial strikes on Camp Victoria, the military headquarters of the Chin National Army (CNA), one of the most powerful ethnic insurgent groups in the neighbouring country.
