HURFOM: During the third week of December, 2024, the military junta launched an operation near Zar D village, Kan Bauk region, Yebyu Township, Tenasserim Division. Villagers experienced frequent landmine explosions and suffered casualties after the retreat of the regiment.

On January 5th, 2025, 40-year-old Mi Thit Thit and her 30-year-old young brother rode over a landmine that was planted along the Zar D village road.
“They encountered a landmine while riding a motorbike, it was totally damaged. The sister sustained an injury to her thigh and her brother is suffering from an arm injury,” said a Zar D villager.
The regiment cut off electricity and the telecommunication network to the village, before embarking for Pa Ra village.
