4 June, Mrauk-U
An artillery shell exploded in Nyaung Bin Hla village in Mrauk-U Township on 3 June when a man found it and hit it with his knife, one man was killed and three other people injured.
Four people who were heading to a mountain range near their village to search for food found an artillery shell on their way and one of the villagers hit it with his knife and it discharged, U Aung Kyaw Hla, administrator of the village said.
“U Win Naing was killed on the spot when the shell exploded and three other people including his wife got injured,” U Aung Kyaw Hla said.
Daw Sein Than Nu, one of three injured women, was sent to Mrauk-U hospital because the injuries she received were the most serious.
A Tatmadaw troop was stationed near the mountain range, locally known as Mt. Pyaing, in April, but there was no clash in the area, local residents said.
