SHAN STATE – On October 28th, a resident of Lashio township said that some local residents were injured and died when a shell fired by the junta council hit on houses in Lashio township last night.
At around 11:00 p.m. yesterday (27th October) night, when the junta council fired a series of rockets on the outskirts of Lashio city, some of the rockets were landed and exploded on residential houses in Kone Nyaung and Manggong villages.
“They shot after 11 p.m. yesterday. Many houses in the village were damaged. There are also human casualties,” the resident explained.
He said that the junta thugs immediately came and carried away the dead bodies of the victims of the heavy weapons in cars, so the number of local casualties is still being investigated.
In the morning of today (28th October), although there was no more shooting of heavy weapon, the junta council troops have been moving around the city and battles are resumed outside Lashio city, so the residents are in great caution and preparing for upcoming emergency evacuations.
