The combined forces of Chin National Army (CNA) and Chinland Defense Forces (CDF) said they did not suffer any casualty during the airstrike, and claimed they captured some weapons and ammunitions from junta’s soldiers.

CNA and CDF have controlled Hakha-Thantlang road since August 2021, making it impossible for the junta army to dispatch overland reinforcement and military supplies to Thantlang town.
