When security personnel promptly arrived at the Hospital for further investigation, it was discovered that the victims were Daw Thin Naing (34 years old), Ma Theint Ya Thi Thwal (6 years old) and Mg Zin Min Aung (18 years old) all residents of Kyi Kone Village in Chaung-U Township of Sagaing Region. The incident occurred that when a so-called PDF terrorist faction fired heavy weapons into the victims’ village. The heavy weapon shells exploded within the village, resulting in their injuries, it is reported.
     Due to the heinous acts of armed terrorists such as engaging in battles and firing of heavy weapons and improvised rockets within towns, wards and villages where innocent civilians peacefully reside, innocent civilians are injured or killed. Consequently, local residents are protesting vehemently against these acts of terrorism, completely refusing to accept them. Security personnel are intensifying necessary security measures in collaboration with the local residents, it is reported.
