Innocent Civilians Injured in Heavy Weapon Attack on Village by terrorists

    Insurgents committing terrorist activities 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 1 November, 2024 at 6:05 PM, a so-called PDF terrorist group fired heavy weapons into Waton Naya Village in Madaya Township of Mandalay Region. The heavy weapon shells exploded within the village. As a result, Daw Htay (45 years old) and Mg Aung Wai Toe (12 years old), both residents of the village, sustained shrapnel injuries and were transported to Mandalay Public Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.
    Due to the heinous acts of armed 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 killed and 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.
