Myanmar denies Indian Army soldiers killed rebels inside its territory

[alaungphaya]

I've been asking around and the action happened just West of a town called Tamu right on the borderline.

It really is right on the cusp so it's really debatable whether it was Indian or Myanmar territory. I think neither side will lose any face wherever it took place.

Indians will want to brag and we'll just remind them it was neither here nor there. It could have easily been either side of the border (which is not demarcated anyway).

Tamu is in the top left corner and the green line is the border.

Very Interesting development

"New Delhi: There was no "hot pursuit" in the military operation against militants along the India-Myanmar border and it was done with the consent of Myanmar authorities, Minister of State for Defence Rao Inderjit Singh said on Wednesday."

According to informed sources, the militant camps were situated a few kilometres inside Myanmar, something which the Indian Army or the defence ministry has not officially confirmed.

Indian Army Attacks Militant Camps in Myanmar - WSJ

Zaw Htay, director of the office of Myanmar President Thein Sein, confirmed Wednesday that Indian troops had entered his country. He said that there was “coordination and cooperation” between the Indian troops and Myanmar’s armed forces based in the area of the raids, but added that no Myanmar soldiers were directly involved.

“We will never allow or support insurgents, whether [they are] against Myanmar or against our neighboring countries,” Mr. Zaw Htay added.

Some silly media fall for unsubstantiated news and some poor, desperate Pakistanis and one despo Chinese here jump. Andhra Mirchi indeed.

Now, enjoy.

Simple question to you:

Did the operation take place inside Myanamar territory (no matter how deep)?

A simple Yes or No will do.

along Indo-Myanmar border !

Indian Army Attacks Militant Camps in Myanmar
Special-forces teams carried out strikes in two separate locations in Myanmar

NEW DELHI—India’s army crossed into neighboring Myanmar and attacked two militant camps early Tuesday, the Indian government said, days after its soldiers were killed in an ambush near the country’s northeastern border.

Special-forces teams carried out strikes in two separate locations in Myanmar that “annihilated the entire camps,” said Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, a minister of state in India’s Information Ministry. Myanmar’s military didn't directly participate in the operation, but the two sides were in close touch, Mr. Rathore said.

Mr. Rathore said Tuesday’s operation was approved by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and was a sign of tough new approach toward security, especially along the country’s long border. When running for office last year, Mr. Modi accused his opponents of being soft on terror and pledged a more muscular policy.

Zaw Htay, director of the office of Myanmar President Thein Sein, confirmed Wednesday that Indian troops had entered his country. He said that there was “coordination and cooperation” between the Indian troops and Myanmar’s armed forces based in the area of the raids, but added that no Myanmar soldiers were directly involved.

“We will never allow or support insurgents, whether [they are] against Myanmar or against our neighboring countries,” Mr. Zaw Htay added.

Maj. Gen. Ranbir Singh, an additional director general of military operations in India, said that “significant casualties have been inflicted on the militants.” The government and the military have declined to identify the group that was attacked or offer details on the number of militants killed.

Gen. Singh said the army had been on “high alert” since last week, when insurgents ambushed a military convoy in India’s Manipur state, killing 18 and injuring several others. He said the decision to go into Myanmar was prompted by “very credible and specific intelligence” that more attacks were being planned.

India’s northeast, home to ethnic minorities who speak Tibeto-Burman languages, has suffered a violent insurgency for decades, with several groups demanding greater autonomy or outright independence.

“It is become kind of a habit for these militants to strike at the Indian army or paramilitary forces or the citizens of the nation and then cross over into safe havens, being confident of the fact that the India armed forces won't pursue them,” said Mr. Rathore in a televised interview late Tuesday. “I think this message is now very clear to all those who harbor intentions of terror on our country.”

For years, India’s army also has battled a deadly insurgency in India’s northern state of Jammu and Kashmir, abutting Pakistan. New Delhi has accused Islamabad of harboring militants who launch attacks in India. Relations between the two nuclear-armed nations grew tense in 2013, when five Indian soldiers were killed in an ambush along the Pakistan border, an attack that India alleged involved Pakistani soldiers. Pakistan denied any role in the killings.

“If there are groups within a country that harbor terror intentions, we will choose a time and place of hitting them,” Mr. Rathore said.

Expected. What kind of an idiot thinks Myanmar will accept other army violated their territory! It's not even good for the relation between the two countries. Good, measured & calculated response from our friend Myanmar.

 

[alaungphaya]

BTW Tamu is less than one mile from the Indian border and the attack happened west of Tamu as I understand it.
