Junta soldiers are firing incendiary rockets into neighborhoods in Thantlang Town where fire start to burn from multiple locations all at once. The abandoned town of over 10,000 residents is now billowing smokes. Lt. Col. Thaung Hlaing is the chief military commander in the area.
More than 60 houses have been burned to ground,spiralling to five blocks reaching from lower to the upper blocks in Thantlang,Chin State.
There is nobody to extinguish the fire.

A combined force of troops from LIB 269, 222 and LID 11 based in Thantlang have set fire to the abandoned town to fight off CDF fighters who shot & killed one killed one of them who broke into shops to steal goods. The inferno is likely to consume the entire town as it spreads.
