Heavy clashes erupted between a junta reinforcement column advancing toward Falam Town in northern Chin State and the Chin resistance coalition, leaving junta forces with casualties. On January 20, a junta reinforcement column of 200–300 troops set out by trucks along the Kale–Taingen-Falam Highway toward Falam Town. The convoy is believed to have split into three smaller columns to enter Falam Town,” he told Khonumthung News. As a result, the Chin resistance coalition also suffered casualties. During these clashes, the Chin National Defence Force (CNDF), a member of the Chin Brotherhood Alliance (CBA), Chin National Army (CNA), and other Chin resistance groups joined forces as a coalition to attack the junta.
