MON STATE – A junta convoy was attacked with improvised mines on the Yangon-Mawlamyine Road in Thaton Township and two local men riding a motorcycle close to them were injured, according to the locals.
“The two men were riding a motorcycle. The incident happened near Kamarsai. The two of them might have been hit with shrapnel when the junta convoy was blasted,” said a local of Kamarsai Village.
It was said that an unnamed armed force attacked the junta convoy coming from Bilin Township on the Yangon-Mawlamyine Road between Kamarsai and Kalikyun Villages in Thaton Township.
“The two local men were Mr. Khaing Htun and Mr. Phar Htay from Kamarsai Village and they both got hit with mine shrapnel in their stomachs but the injuries were not serious,” stated a member of a charity group in Thaton Township.
It is still unknown which group carried out the mine attack but it was one of the places where Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) and People’s Defence Force (PDF) members usually carry out landmine attacks on junta forces.
Thaton District PDF captain Mr. Aye Min Htin said that a mine attack was carried out by PDF alliances but the detailed information about the damage had not been reported yet.
On the other hand, according to a person close to the junta’s Thaton police station, the junta corp convoy that came from Bilin to Thaton was attacked on its way but there were no casualties.
