Operation Golden Bird was an Indian-Myanmar military operation conducted by the Indian Army in April–May 1995.[1][2][3][4]
The operation was initiated by the 57th Mountain Division of the Indian Army, which tracked down and decapitated a rebel column that had picked up a huge consignment of weapons at the Wyakaung beach, on the Myanmar-Bangladesh coast south of Chittagong and Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh,[5] and was moving that through the jungles of Mizoram, Northeast India.[6] The consignment was to be delivered in Manipur, India.[7] The operation was named after a Grimm Brothers fairytale.[8] Operation Golden Bird was a joint India-Myanmar military operation carried out along the Mizoram border that led to the killing of dozens of militants.[9][10] It was considered to be a successful counter-insurgency operation by the Indian Army.[11][better source needed]
