In Mon State’s Bilin Township, artillery fire from the terrorist military forces struck A Lu East Village, resulting in the death of 15-year-old Naw Khin Nan Myaung (also known as Ma Noe Noe) and injuring another civilian. The incident occurred around 12:00 PM on July 23rd, following a clash between the terrorist military forces and revolutionary forces near the A Lu plywood factory. After the confrontation, the military indiscriminately fired artillery shells into the village.
According to local residents, the terrorist military began shelling civilian areas after the clash, resulting in 15-year-old Naw Khin Nan Myaung being struck by artillery shrapnel while inside her home, killing her instantly. Another villager was also wounded by shrapnel from the artillery strike. The military’s artillery barrage also caused damage to several houses in the village. Local sources reported that the military deliberately targeted civilian areas with heavy weapons after engaging with resistance forces.
The terrorist military regularly targets civilian areas during conflicts, often using indiscriminate artillery fire and engaging in destruction of property through arson. This incident has resulted in the loss of an innocent schoolgirl’s life and has created fear and anxiety among local residents. The military’s violent attacks continue to cause loss of life and property among civilian populations, leaving communities concerned for their safety and security. The ongoing artillery attacks on civilian areas demonstrate the military’s disregard for civilian casualties and their continued use of heavy weapons in populated areas, causing significant damage to homes and infrastructure while endangering civilian lives.
