A pregnant woman was injured by military artillery fire in Hpakant Township, Kachin State, according to local residents. On June 15 at 10:30 AM, the military stationed at Tapmakun in Hpakant fired heavy weapons that struck Swut Nging Yang village. The victim, 23-year-old Dabaw Seng Nan, who is five months pregnant, was wounded in the attack and was taken to Hpakant Public Hospital. However, locals report that the hospital lacks adequate medical supplies, raising concerns about the quality of care available.
Additionally, near Swut Aung village in Hpakant Township, daily burning operations are being carried out at the Nay Min Gabar Company under military council orders, causing fear and anxiety among local residents. The situation became particularly concerning on June 14, when burning operations conducted during the evening and night hours caused significant distress among villagers. The military’s actions have severely disrupted daily civilian life, forcing residents to live under constant threat to their safety and security.
According to a local resident, the burning operations are being carried out deliberately even in the absence of military columns, following direct orders from the military council. These intentional acts of destruction have angered villagers and created serious concerns for their lives and property. Local residents point to this as clear evidence that military council forces are deliberately targeting civilian populations. The ongoing military actions continue to create an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty in the region, with civilians bearing the brunt of the military’s aggressive tactics.
