Puta-O–Myitkyina Road Closed Indefinitely by Military in Kachin State

The military has indefinitely closed the Puta-O–Myitkyina road in Kachin State from this morning, citing military reasons.

According to a driver on the route, the military council's troops suddenly blocked the road section between Lamon Zup village and Naungnan village in Myitkyina Township. The Puta-O–Myitkyina road serves as the only trade route for the entire Puta-O region.

As a result of the closure, all vehicles travelling from Myitkyina to Puta-O earlier today were forced to turn back at the Tanpharae Gate on the outskirts of Myitkyina.
