Myanmar's junta have now killed over 800 civilians since they seized power via a coup in February. Waves of anti-coup protests have since rocked the country with the junta declaring martial law in order to quell rallies

Some of the most intense fighting since the February 1 coup has emerged in recent days in Mindat, about 100 km from the Indian border in Chin state as the army battles local militias.

Martial law was declared in Mindat last week before the army launched its assault, using artillery and helicopters against a newly formed Chinland Defence Force. The militia, armed mainly with hunting rifles, said it had pulled back to spare civilians from being caught in the crossfire.
