One killed and two injured due to junta’s reckless shooting
August 24, 2023
HURFOM: On August 19, 2023, the joint forces of the Karen National Liberation Army and the People’s Defense Force attacked the military near Taung Kyar Inn Bridge, Kaw Ka Rate Township, Karen State.
In response the military junta reinforced its troop presence and recklessly launched an artillery attack on Taung Kyar Inn village, killing a 50-year-old man.
On August 22, the 599th Light Infantry Battalion also recklessly shot two women who went to their corn plantation. The two women were injured and ran away.
“Now, no one dares go outside. Even going to our farm, we fear artillery attacks. We have no job and the commodity prices have risen again. Everyone is in trouble,” said a Kaw Ka Rate resident.
The junta declared martial law in Kaw Ka Rate Township in February, 2023 and troops subsequently destroyed roads and limited movement, creating sustained economic hardship for local people.
