The bodies of two Myanmar teenagers, missing after they were reportedly abducted by the Myanmar army, were found in a jungle near that country’s border with Mizoram, officials said on Thursday.
The teens, identified as Lalnunpuii, 17, and her younger brother, Lalruatmawia, are believed to be children of Lalzidinga, the commander of the People’s Defence Force (PDF) battling the Myanmar army that took control of the country in February 2021.
Social media accounts of Myanmar resistance groups said the two siblings went missing on Sunday after the Tatmadaw (Myanmar army) raided the Hairual village near the India-Myanmar border.
