YANGON: Myanmar's ruling junta said Saturday (Oct 18) that it had recaptured a town on a trade highway to China from an ethnic armed group in the country's war-wracked north.
Following a 16-day operation, "on 16 October, Tatmadaw reoccupied Hsipaw completely," the state-run Global New Light of Myanmar newspaper said, referring to the military by its Burmese name.
