HURFOM: On December 1st, 2024, a 14-year-old child from Ka Nine Dar village, Dawei Township, Tenasserim Division stepped on a landmine and was killed by the explosion.

The child was going out for fishing in the morning when she stepped on a landmine on a village road between Ka Nine Dar and Saw Mi Nyo villages. She was killed by the explosion on the spot.

The child used to go fishing every morning. She recently started working in a rubber plantation. I’m unhappy to hear about that,” said a local villager.

According to villagers, the landmine was planted by the 402nd light infantry battalion.

In the last week of November, 2024, a 27-year-old woman from Dawei Township stepped on a landmine and lost her foot.
