An innocent civilian was killed and another was injured in a targeted attack by a destructive group, consisting of KIA armed insurgents and so-called PDF terrorists, who used heavy weapons in a deliberate and reckless manner against Mohnyin Township

     In States and Regions, insurgent groups supporting terrorism and so-called PDF terrorist groups have been carrying out terrorist acts against non-military targets. These acts include detonating public roads and bridges, dropping bombs, firing heavy arms, using improvised mortars and setting fire to residential houses in areas where innocent civilians reside, such as wards and villages.
     Since they are conducting such terrorist acts, on 3 March at 5:05 PM, U Aung Min Htway (36 years old), and his wife, Daw Khin Ohn Myint (42 years old), who both live in Nantyin Village in Hopin Town, Monnyin Township, Kachin State, were returning home from a field. As they neared Nantyin Village, a heavy weapon shell, fired by a destructive group consisting of KIA armed insurgents and so-called PDF terrorists, exploded. As a result, U Aung Min Htway was killed by shrapnel from the heavy weapon shell, while Daw Khin Ohn Myint sustained shrapnel injuries. She was transported to Hopin Town Public Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.
     Security personnel are conducting an investigation into the incidents involving the heavy weapons attack which resulted in the aforementioned case. The aim of this investigation is to take punitive action against the terrorists involved. This action is in accordance with the law and is geared towards upholding stability and peace in the region, it is reported.
