Six civilians, including children, were injured in a shooting incident on the evening of April 16 in Kyauktaw town, Arakan State.
Among those sustaining gunshot wounds on Thursday were a 12-year-old girl, a 14-year-old boy and Mg Zin Ko, aged 19.
Mg Zin Ko said the gunfire came from the Kyauktaw highway bus station, adding that he was shot while riding a motorcycle with two others in the vicinity.
“We were doing construction works. We got yelled at from behind while we arrived near the Kyauktaw agriculture office. Then we were shot. I saw the soldiers from a group stationed there when I got into the ambulance. It was fired from the bus station,” he said.
“When we got shot, one of us ran away; I had injuries to my hip and thigh. Another person fell down near the motorbike. They [the soldiers] took and questioned him,” Mg Zin Ko added.
The shooting is under investigation.
