Mindat town, which is no longer under the military council, has been bombed frequently by the military council in recent days, and on April 9, a military council aircraft bombed Phui village in Mindat township at around 9 pm, killing a total of 6 people, including an 8-month-old baby.

Mindat was captured from the military council by the Chin Brotherhood and allied groups, including the CDF – Mindat, on December 21, 2024, and the current administration of Mindat is being implemented by the Mindat Township People’s Administration.
