evidence: A coalition of anti-junta defence forces, including the Chinland Defence Force (CDF) chapters from Hakha and Kalay-Kabaw-Gangaw, as well as the Ranger Kalay Defence Force carried out the attack last Saturday and again on Monday and Thursday. "They are rallying in the villages and pressuring the civilians to form militias so that they wouldn’t be able to join our defence forces, and so that they could have more control over the region," an information officer from the CDF in Kalay-Kabaw-Gangaw’s third battalion said.
