Burmese Military Helicopter Shot Down, Claims Kachin Independence Army

The ethnic resistance force alleges the helicopter was on a resupply mission in the northern state of Kachin.

The Kachin Independence Army, an ethnic resistance force in Burma, claims to have shot down a Burmese military helicopter.
The helicopter was reportedly on a resupply mission in the northern state of Kachin when it was shot down.
The Burmese military, which seized power from the elected government in 2021, has been battling pro-democracy resistance forces and ethnic minority groups seeking greater autonomy.
There was no immediate comment from the military government about the helicopter claim.
The Kachin Independence Army, which is better armed and has more combat experience than other ethnic armed groups, in May 2021 claimed to have shot down another military helicopter.
