July 2, 2025
HURFOM: At about 8 am on June 25th, 2025, a 32-year-old local man from Pyin Thar village, Mell Lang Gaung village track, Bilin Township, Mon State stepped on a landmine and he lost one of his legs due to the landmine explosion.
Ko Aung Aung went to his plantation in the west of the village to harvest rambutans and he stepped on a landmine. The explosion totally destroyed his right foot.
“It’s luck for Ko Aung Aung to lost just his foot. Here, everyone is very careful about landmine but stepping on landmine is inevitable. Most villagers dare not go to their plantations,” said a villager.
Ko Aung Aung was firstly admitted to the Bilin Township General Hospital; however, he has been transferred to the Thaton District General Hospital for further treatment.
Both the military junta and the joint forces of the resistant armed groups are active around Pyin Thar village; however, both sides remain completely silents regarding the landmine explosion.
