HURFOM: On January 24th, 2024, the military junta attacked villages in Kyike Hto Township, Mon State. There were no armed clashes taking place and a local woman was injured and two houses were destroyed.
A regiment had launched a military operation based from the Ah Nyar Zu village, Wall Township, Pegu Division that sent at least ten artillery attacks to villages on the Sit Taung bank in Kyike Hto Township. The artillery shells exploded in Win Kan and Chaung Wa villages.
“The regiment targeted artillery attacks to the places they believed were residences of the PDF – the People’s Defense Forces. The junta is launching artillery attacks every day here and we have to dig “bomb shelter” for our safety,” said a resident from Win Kan village.
20-year-old Ma Thel Su Lin from Win Kan village sustained lower body injuries and two houses from Chaung Wa village were damaged from the artillery explosions.
Ma Thel Su Lin was sent to Thein Za Ye General Hospital and her condition is not life-threatening.
“Everyone was frightened but didn’t run away. We all were hiding in bomb shelters,” said a resident from Win Kan village.
