Early this morning (October 27), multiple areas in northern Myanmar were attacked by armed forces, resulting in intense clashes. It's reported that the Kokang National Democratic Alliance Army claimed responsibility for these attacks, stating the operation aimed to combat telecom fraud militias in Laukkaing. They announced a blockade of roads from Lashio to Chinshwehaw and Muse starting today. There are also reports that several strongholds in Chinshwehaw have been occupied by the alliance army, with passage prohibited.
Given the complex situation in Myanmar, we urgently remind all Chinese nationals in Myanmar to remain vigilant, enhance protection measures, avoid unnecessary outings, and take safety precautions. In case of emergencies, please contact local police immediately and notify the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar.
