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.

Those who are still saying Myanmar is on the “brink” of civil war are sadly quite late.

More than 100 houses have been burned down to ground within 4 hours. The fire is started by the military junta’s rocket-propelled grenades shelling and reaching across five blocks from lower to upper blocks – names are Zunghmung, Market, Biakinn, Lungtial, and TABC blocks.

9 days since we called for an urgent UNSC meeting, but still UNSC members fail even to meet to discuss this growing crisis, let alone take any action. #DoYourJob.

Pray for #Thantlang,Chin State.🥺😥 #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

It is estimated than more than 100 houses including a Church and office building of Thantlang Baptist Church have been destroyed by arson attack of SAC Terrorists as to 6: 40 pm, Myanmar Time. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #Oct29Coup #WarCrimesOfJunta

It has been said before regarding other ethnic states and needs to be asked again now. If this was happening in Yangon, would there still be virtual silence from the international community, and no UNSC meeting?

This is what a military targeting civilians looks like. Why is there still no action from the UN Security Council to rein in Myanmar's military? #UNSC #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Plz Pray for Thantlang town of Chin state in Myanmar!

Before and After the Coup, SAC is destroying not only cities but also people’s lives and their homes. For people who live in hilly regions, their houses are all they have. It took years to build up a place where your family calls ‘home’. It’s heartbreaking.

Concerning reports from Chin State in #Myanmar of the burning of homes and churches in Thantlang. We are closely monitoring developments in the State and discussing with partners, including at the UNSC. The military must end the violence and ensure the protection of civilians.
