Lanse (Burmese: လန်ဆယ်, officially called Laching (Burmese: လာချင်)) is a village in Hsawlaw Township in Myitkyina District in the Kachin State of north-eastern Myanmar.[1]
The village was home to the Kachin Border Guard Force Battalion 1002 headquarters under the command of the New Democratic Army – Kachin (NDA-K). The outpost was captured by the Kachin Independence Army on 11 November 2024 during the Myanmar civil war.[2] Earlier in October 2024, the NDA-K issued an order to close mining operations including gold and rare earth mining sites- in their territory, including Lanse.[3]
