June 1, 2022
HURFOM: At approximately 12 pm on May 30, 2022, a heavy weapon shot by the local military base exploded in a house in Kyaung Yaw village, Ye Township, in Mon State.
The home owners, a husband and wife, were injured and received treatment at a local public hospital.
“As far as I know, an armed group (Local People Defense Force) dropped three bombs into the military base with drone. One of the bombs exploded in the base. In response, the military fired their heavy weapons, which hit the house. The husband and wife were injured,” said a local source.
According to locals the husband’s injuries were deemed serious.
“Innocent civilians were injured due to the heavy weapons fired by the military. There should be an apology for this action. But they care about nothing. I don’t even mention about medical fees or compensation. It is not okay that innocent civilians are the ones who have to suffer,” criticized the local source.
No. 591 Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) is based nearby Kyaung Yaw village.
