Myanmar bombings left shrapnels in Tiau along Mizoram border: Probe

Aizawl: Amid claims that the Myanmar Army dropped bombs on Indian territory during a recent aerial strike on an insurgent camp close to the country’s border recently, an investigation revealed that the explosions had affected Tiau river, which divides India and Myanmar and runs along the international border, a senior official said. 

Champhai deputy commissioner James Lalrinchhana said that shrapnel pieces were found from the river bed during the investigation. He, however, said that there was no clear evidence to suggest that the main bomb fell on the Indian territory.

“Fragments of shrapnel were collected by police from Tiau river bed. No crack was found on Mizoram’s side to indicate that bomb hit it,” he said.
