• MNDAA insurgents wish to get profits from drug production and resume their influence, so these events happened. With regard to seizures of narcotic drugs in Laukkai and surrounding areas, there were 18 heavy drug cases from 2006, arresting 140 persons 82 times and seizing drugs worth K71.59 billion. Due to these benefits from drugs, the MNDAA group is attempting to occupy the Laukkai region.

• MNDAA made preparations in the Wa region and its main strengths were deployed to attack Chinshwehaw via Namtit Bridge on 27 October. In the morning, they passed Namtit Creek and deployed excessive strength to attack Chinshwehaw. Security camps in the Laukkai and Chinshwehaw regions served duties of local security but military operation camps. MNDAA used a large number of drones and dropped bombs in attacks. In the incident, MNDAA joined hands with KIA, TNLA and PDF terrorists.

• Such an event can harm relations between Myanmar and China. Officials from both sides solved the issue that bullets from Myanmar fell in China.

• Local people are not eager to participate in the events. But, due to forced recruitment, some of them followed the group. The majority of the people’s militia is joining hands with Tatmadaw. Now, local people send information about MNDAA to Tatmadaw to effectively respond to them.
