HURFOM: On December 28, 2023, a couple stepped on a landmine in In Ka Bo village, Kyike Hto Township, Mon State. The husband was killed by the explosion, and the wife was seriously injured.
45-year-old U Nine Win and 40-year-old Daw Mi Mi went to a nearby pomelo plantation to collect wood about noon, when they stepped on a landmine.
The local rescue team sent the victims to Thaton District General Hospital but the husband died that evening.
“Both of them were in critical condition. Their bodies were full of landmine debris. The husband died soon after reaching hospital. His wife was sent to Yangon General Hospital. Her condition isn’t good,” said an official from the local rescue team.
According to Ka Bo villagers both the military junta and the joint revolutionary forces are active in the area.
