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 roads and bridges, dropping bombs, 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 2 September at 05:40 PM, KIA members who support terrorism and a so-called PDF terrorist group launched a reckless heavy weapons attack towards Minekar Village in Bhamo Township of Kachin State. The heavy weapon shells landed and exploded in the vicinity of the Village. As a result of the explosion, Ko Aung Myint Thu, 29 years old and his younger sister Ma Hnin Wai Wai Hlaing, 23 years old, who both live in Taekyungyi Village and were present in a hut near Minekar Village at that time, sustained injuries from heavy weapon shell shrapnel. They were transported to the Bhamo District Public Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.
Security personnel are investigating the incident to take punitive action against terrorists who recklessly attacked with heavy weapons towards a Village, causing injuries to innocent civilians, as soonest in accordance with the law and to maintain stability and peace in the region, it is reported.
