BAGO DIVISION – During a departmental meeting held by the junta council at the General Administrative Office in Kyaukkyi Township, Bago, a township agricultural official lost his life while a fire chief sustained injuries when grenades were dropped using drones.
At approximately 10:15 a.m. on June 9, a sudden drone attack targeted the general administrative office, resulting in a fatal outcome for the township agricultural official. The fire chief, identified as Mr. Ni Htay, suffered injuries to his right thigh and back from the shrapnel, along with another staff member who sustained varying degrees of injuries.
A source at the Kyaukkyi Township Administrative Office revealed that the attack took place during a township-level departmental meeting, causing an explosion that injured the township fire chief and a staff member. The agricultural officer succumbed to his injuries, while the remaining injured individuals were promptly rushed to Kyaukkyi Hospital for medical treatment.
Kyaukkyi Township is primarily under the control of the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) and the People’s Defence Force (PDF) forces and except for the downtown area, other areas fall under the jurisdiction of the revolutionary troops.
