A Muslim man from Tha Yet Pyin village in Buthidaung township of Arakan State lost his left leg and got severe injuries in his right leg after stepping on a land mine while he was herding cattle near his village at about 11 a.m. on 2 December.
Baw Chee Ar Maw, 24, was rushed to Buthidaung hospital due to serious injuries, said Naw Si Yar Maut, the victim’s father.
“He lost his leg and got injuries on his face too. I don’t know who set the land mine,” the father said.
Fighting has occurred between the Tatmadaw and the AA in Buthidaung, Rathedaung, Ponnagyun, Minbya and Kyauktaw townships of Arakan State since last December.
As a result of these clashes, villagers who search for food and chop firewood in the forests and herd cattle near their villages are injured or killed by landmines.
On 30 November, a young man from A Ngu Maw Kone Tan village in Rathedaung township was killed by an artillery blast that remained undetonated from a battle.
