YANGON, Feb. 15 (Xinhua) -- An ethnic armed group of Myanmar, the Restoration Council of Shan State (RCSS), has returned the robbed items to the military in eastern Shan state, Myanmar News Agency reported Friday.
The seized objects were given back to the military in Mongpyin on Wednesday evening, a day after the armed group, also known as the Shan State Army (SSA), robbed a vehicle of the military carrying two commanding officers, taking away properties on the car.
The robbery took place between the location of Mongyin and Kengtung.
The RCSS is an ethnic armed organization which signed the Nationwide Ceasefire Accord (NCA) with the government on Oct. 15, 2015.
The Myanmar military announced suspension of all its military actions against armed groups in operation areas in five military command regions for over four months starting from Dec. 21, 2018 to April 30, 2019 to pave way for political talks with the non-ceasefire signatory armed groups.
