The Chin Human Rights Organization said eight civilians from four villages in Paletwa Township have been missing since Oct. 12, 2018, amid intense fighting there.

Tatmadaw says the attack shows the groups do not want peace; no casualties reported in assault on battalion HQ in Muse District.

The suggestion came at a meeting between the Karenni National Progressive Party and the Union government in Nayptitaw, amid still unsolved disputes between the two sides.
