The Myanmar military launched an airstrike on a prominent training camp for pro-democracy forces close to the Indian border, with jets dropping at least two bombs inside Indian territory according to eyewitnesses.
The Myanmar junta, who seized power in a coup in February 2021 and are engaged in a bloody battle to crush pro-democracy insurgents, began bombing Camp Victoria in Myanmar’s Chin state, on Tuesday afternoon, a rebel commander confirmed to the Guardian.
Camp Victoria serves as the headquarters of Chin National Army (CNA), an ethnic armed group which is fighting alongside other rebel groups to restore democracy in Myanmar, under the banner of People’s Defence Force (PDF). The training camp is located just a few kilometres from the border with the Indian state of Mizoram.
Another rebel fighter, requesting anonymity, said that fighter jets dropped multiple bombs on the camp, leading to panic. The rebels said some jets crossed over the Tiau river, which serves as the border between India and Myanmar.
Two locals on the Indian side in Farkawan village, located in the state of Mizoram, said that two bombs were dropped on the India side of the border but no one was hurt.
Rama, president of Farkawan village council, who uses a single name, confirmed the bombings on the Indian side, which he said had caused “panic” in their village and fear of more strikes violating the border areas.
“A truck from our side was damaged by one bomb, which was parked near Tiau river,” he said. “Some people from Myanmar side have crossed over the border after the bombing and people in our village are helping them and the injured. We could see that the bombing was carried out by three fighter jets and two helicopters.”
There was no immediate comment from the military or government media.
Indian authorities did not confirm whether bombs were dropped inside Indian territory. However, one Indian army officer told the Guardian that they are aware of the reports that there has been a disturbance near the border and were accessing the situation.
According to the rebel commander, seven rebel fighters were killed, including one woman, in the aerial bombings and over 20 people in Camp Victoria were injured. He identified the slain rebels as Salai Van Ro Piang, Salai Duh Tin, Mai Ngun Hlei Par, Mai Sui Len Par and Salai Kil Mang.
Aerial strikes have become a common tactic used by the junta, particularly in areas held by ethnic rebels forces, as they continue a ruthless campaign of violence to consolidate their power. In October, at least 80 people, mostly civilians, were killed when the military launched an airstrike on a concert in Kachin state, in northern Myanmar.
It is the first time that Camp Victoria in Chin has been targeted with aerial bombings by the junta. The rebel commanders said they were not anticipating an aerial strike because of the camp’s close proximity to the Indian border.
Due to their shared ethnic background, there is much sympathy in Mizoram for the plight of the civilians and rebel fighters of Chin state. The border between the Indian state of Mizoram and Myanmar has become an essential route for the smuggling of weapons, supplies and medicines to support the rebel fighters, with authorities largely turning a blind eye.
Over 40,000 people have crossed over into India to flee the violence and are living in around 60 refugee camps across Mizoram, while injured rebel fighters often cross over to the Indian side for treatment.
According to the commander after the Camp Victoria raid, dozens fled to India, while doctors from Mizoram crossed over into Myanmar to help treat the injured who could not be moved. On Wednesday, in protest at the aerial strikes, there was a shutdown across Chin state.

Ok, i think this is probably the second time people asked about BD's involvement in Burmese civil war. Just to clarify, BD is not involved in the civil war. NUG urged the Rohingyas to join the fight but they showed no interest. AFAIK the weapons are coming from China, Thailand and black market.
Police in the northern Thai border town of Mae Sai have seized thousands of rounds of ammunition and over 100 grenades thought to be headed for Tachileik, the Myanmar town opposite Mae Sai.
On March 28, police and Thai military found 6,000 rounds of 5.56 mm ammunition for M16 assault rifles and 52 K75 anti-personnel grenades, according to the Thai newspaper Matichon.
View attachment 33583
It was reported that the Mae Sai police were alerted by a courier company after their Mae Sai shop received four suspicious boxes from Thailand’s Chon Buri Province. Workers at the shop questioned why the boxes were so heavy and called the police to investigate them.
The following day the police were also alerted to check four more boxes intended for delivery to Myanmar. Police found another 15 K-75 grenades in each box, 60 in total.
Thai newspapers reported that the total seizure amounted to 6,000 rounds of ammunition for M16 and M4- series assault rifles and 112 K75 anti-personnel grenades.
Security officials in Thailand presume that all were bound for Tachileik in Myanmar.
The grenades were made in South Korea, according to Thai army sources in Chiang Rai. All the ammunition and grenades are thought to have been imported from abroad.
Several Thai people, including the driver of the van that transported the boxes to Mae Sai, are now under investigation.
Ammunition and Grenades Destined for Myanmar Seized on Thai Border
Thai police confiscate thousands of live rounds and over a hundred grenades believed to be bound for Myanmar town of Tachileik.
Thai security agencies have been instructed to step up vigilance along the border with Myanmar, The Bangkok Post reported. But this time the Thai army is looking to prevent weapons smuggling from Thailand into conflict-ridden Myanmar.
Thai Defense Ministry spokesman Lieutenant General Kongcheep Tantrawanich said on Tuesday the instruction came from Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon and followed recent reports of arms dealers smuggling military-grade weapons to Myanmar, where fighting between the ruling junta and rebels has intensified.
Lt-Gen Kongcheep said Prawit had instructed that security intelligence agencies concentrate on obtaining information on the sources of weapons, transport routes and financial transaction channels used by the smugglers, the Post reported.
In late March, Thai Police in the northern Thai border town of Mae Sai seized thousands of rounds of ammunition and over 100 grenades thought to be headed for Tachileik, the Myanmar town opposite Mae Sai.
Thai newspapers reported that the total seizure amounted to 6,000 rounds of ammunition for M16 and M4 series assault rifles and 112 K75 anti-personnel grenades.
In June last year, a joint task force, including the Thai military and police, seized a large cache of Chinese-made weapons, which were believed to be destined for Myanmar.
AK47 assault rifles, machine guns, anti-tank mines, grenades and ammunition were among the items seized in a joint raid on a house in Mae Tao in Mae Sot District on the Thai side of the border.
This time Thai security forces are concerned about a recent increase in fighting in Kayah State opposite Mae Hong Song province in northern Thailand and in areas controlled by Karen insurgents to the south. Moreover, loosely formed People’s Defense Forces in Myanmar have been engaged in battles against the military junta, which staged a coup on Feb. 1.
Two weeks ago, Myanmar’s shadow National Unity Government declared a defensive war on the junta. Fighting has intensified, with bombings and killings taking place in Myanmar almost daily.
Ethnic insurgents along the border with Thailand have purchased arms and ammunition from overseas black markets and in Thailand.
Lt-Gen Kongcheep quoted Prawit as saying that Thailand does not support the use of violence in any form in Myanmar.

They stated using drones before Ukrainians but still don't use any modernized version of it or munition. Someone needs to help them. Also why don't they attack ammo dump and aircraft in ground in day/night when air raid is the main problem. They also need ATGM, MANPAD.

At least 31 Myanmar junta troops and four resistance fighters were killed during weekend clashes in Pekon Township, southern Shan State, according to resistance groups.
On Sunday, Division 66 troops raided the hills in the east of the township and detained displaced people sheltering in the hills.
That afternoon a clash broke out on a hill when the Pekon People’s Defense Force (PDF), Urban Revolutionary Front and Karenni Nationalities Defense Force (KNDF) attacked regime forces to rescue displaced people being held hostage.
Twelve regime soldiers were killed and 10 injured, said Karenni Military Information Center, the media arm of the Karenni resistance groups.
Junta troops in Pekon shelled resistance forces and two junta jets bombed the resistance forces, said Pekhon PDF, which coordinated the attacks.
One Pekhon PDF and two KNDF fighters were killed.
The PDF said regime forces killed two citizens, aged 81 and 78, and a grade 7 child during their raid on the displacement camp. Some civilian detainees escaped.
“The child was their grandchild. The two grandparents are believed to have been burned alive by junta soldiers. They also burned four tents,” a representative of Pekhon PDF told the Karenni’s Voice media group.
On Saturday a firefight broke out in the mountainous east of the township when Pekhon PDF and other resistance groups attacked regime forces in the forests.
Six regime soldiers were reportedly seized and the others retreated, according to Pekhon PDF.
A PDF video shows captured soldiers and others dead. A resistance fighter is telling junta troops: “Take it easy. We will not hurt you. We are not cruel.”
On Sunday morning a firefight broke out nearby when resistance forces attacked regime troops who fled Saturday’s clash.
A Pekhon PDF fighter was killed. Resistance forces seized 19 junta bodies, including an officer, along with weapons and ammunition.
Heavy clashes have been reported since the last month in Kayah State and neighboring southern Shan State as junta deploys 12 military columns to the resistance strongholds.
