Myanmar’s military junta government is facing an armed challenge to its rule in several parts of the country.
In the Chin state in the west of Myanmar, ethnic resistance groups have managed to push the military junta out of several areas near the country’s western border and battles are currently raging as they fight to gain control of more territory.

Myanmar’s military is yet to respond to the BBC’s questions about these allegations.
