Army Reinforces troops near SSPP/SSA's Loi Say-LoiLeng Base

The Myanmar Army has dispatched reinforcements to the Loi Say-LoiLeng area in northern Shan State's Tangyan Township, where a Shan State Progress Party/Shan State Army (SSPP/SSA) base is located, according to an SSPP/SSA information officer.

He said that over ten vehicles from the Myanmar Army were heading towards Tangyan on 24 April.  Last week, the Myanmar Army’s North Eastern Command ordered the SSPP/SSA to withdraw from the Loi Say-LoiLeng ridge in Tangyan Township by 22 April. This ridge is located to the west of the Salween River near territory controlled by the United Wa State Army (UWSA).

On 22 April the commander of the North Eastern Command ordered the SSPP/SSA to allow joint field inspections to be conducted on 27 April. (Courtesy of Mizzima)
