Which ethnic minority armed group in Myanmar has seized control of a border crossing to China from the ruling junta

An ethnic minority armed group in Myanmar has seized control from the country’s ruling junta of a border crossing to China.

The ethnic minority armed group in Myanmar that has seized control of a border crossing to China from the ruling junta is the Kachin Independence Army (KIA).
The KIA is one of the largest ethnic armed groups in Myanmar and has been fighting for greater autonomy for the Kachin people, who primarily reside in the northern part of the country.
The border crossing in question is the Kanpaikti border gate, which is located in Kachin State and serves as an important trade route between Myanmar and China.
The KIA's seizure of the border crossing is seen as a significant blow to the ruling junta, as it disrupts trade and potentially weakens the junta's control over the area.
The move by the KIA is also seen as a demonstration of solidarity with pro-democracy protesters and opposition forces who are opposed to the military coup in Myanmar.

This development adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing crisis in Myanmar and highlights the deep divisions within the country.
