HRUFOM: On February 28th, 2024, the “Moe Kaung” Bridge located on the Yangon – Mawlamyine Highway Road nearby Moe Kaung village, Thaton Township, Mon State was blown up by a mine. Two houses and two shops were also destroyed and a 30-year-old man was injured during the explosion.
“We heard the loud sound of an explosion at about 1 am. Even our houses were shaking. We went to have a look at 4 pm and the entire bridge collapsed. Houses and shops beside the bridge were also damaged. We’ve never experienced such an event, so the entire village is frightened,” said one villager.
The injured victim was sent to the Thaton District General Hospital for further treatment.
Both the military junta and the revolutionary forces have destroyed bridges and roads as a military tactic, which creates livelihood and transportation problems for villagers.
On June 29th, 2023, the “Kyone Ate” Bridge located on the Yangon – Mawlamyine Highway Road was also the target of an attack. Villagers and travelers experienced livelihood and transportation problems for months.
