BANGKOK: A Myanmar ethnic minority armed group said on Saturday (Aug 3) that it had captured a regional military command after weeks of clashes, in what would be a major blow to the junta.
Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) fighters have “fully captured the headquarters of the northeast military command” in Lashio in northern Shan state, the group said in a statement.
