Newly Leaked Pictures of Burma’s Secret Tunnels

In Burma, several senior military officials have been detained following the leakage of photos of secret tunnels being built on the Burmese/Thai Border. Investigations are now underway.

Several Burmese military officials have been detained following the leaking of photos about the existence of secret tunnels built by foreign workers.

The tunnels, which are codenamed Tortoise Shells by the Burmese military, are large enough for heavy vehicles to drive through and have an independent power supply.

According to the photographs obtained by the Norway-based TV station Democratic Voice of Burma, or DVB, it’s believed that North Korea is involved in the tunneling project which started 1996.

There will reportedly be more than 800 underground facilities when the project is completed. Nearly 40 of 53 underground stations located at the Thai-Burmese border area are believed to been built since 2004.
