An Innocent Civilian Injured in Improvised Rocket Attack on Ward by Terrorist Insurgents

    Terrorist insurgents have been engaging in battles, firing heavy weapons and improvised rockets, and dropping bombs using drones into the public towns, wards and villages.
    Since they are committing such terrorist acts, on 28 July, 2024 at 08:00 AM, a group of KIA insurgents and the so-called PDF terrorists fired improvised rockets on Naung Kho Ward in Bhamo Township of Kachin State. One of these improvised rocket shells exploded within the ward. As a result, Ko Phyo Myint Aung (22 years old), a resident of the ward, sustained shrapnel injuries and was transported to Bhamo Township Public Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported. 
    Due to the heinous acts of armed insurgents and terrorists such as engaging in battles and firing of heavy weapons and improvised rockets within towns, wards, and villages where innocent civilians peacefully reside, innocent civilians are injured. Consequently, local residents are protesting vehemently against these acts of terrorism, completely refusing to accept them. Security personnel are intensifying necessary security measures in collaboration with the local residents, it is reported.
