A mother and her daughter were shot and injured after their motorbike was robbed in Mahaaungmyay Township, Mandalay Region, yesterday, February 1, at around 8pm, residents told BBM.

The incident occurred when the mother and her daughter, owners of an ice cream shop on the corner of 84th and 38th streets in Mahaaungmyay Township, were closing the shop and going back home when two men tried to robbe their motorbike.

“When the shop was closing to go home, the two men robbed the motorbikes. When the daughter refused to give them the keys to the motorbike, they shot the daughter with a gun. She was hit three times,” a resident told BBM.

The daughter, Ma Han Htet Soe San, who was shot in her 20s, was hit in the right arm and right thigh, but her injuries were not life-threatening, but she is receiving medical treatment.

“The bullet hit her arm and thigh, so it’s not life-threatening. She was injured and now she’s receiving medical treatment. The police are investigating, but the culprit has not been found yet,” a resident told BBM.

The area where the robbery took place is currently under security by the military junta, and CCTV cameras have been installed on the streets, but there have been frequent robberies of gold shops in the past.

“The gold shop, next to the shop that was robbed yesterday, was also robbed last year, and other gold shops have also been robbed frequently. It’s always crowded in the area, there are CCTV cameras, and there are police and soldiers,” a resident told BBM.

There have been at least four robberies on 84th and 38th streets in Mahaaungmyay Township, but the military junta has not yet arrested and taken action against the culprits.

An elderly woman was killed and at least 10 houses were destroyed in conducting military junta airstrike in Falam Township, Chin State, according to local residents.

Yesterday, January 31, at around 11:30 pm, the military junta dropped four bombs on Zangzawl village and at least 10 were destroyed.

“When the village was bombed, an elderly woman did not have time to escape. She was 70 years old and could not run. She died on the spot. The four bombs fell on the village, destroying about 10 houses,” a local resident told BBM.

Zangzawl village is far from villages such as Khuangli and Somharam, where fighting between the military junta and the Chin Defense Joint Force is intense, so the airstrikes were carried out without any fighting in the village.

Yesterday morning, the Chin Defense Joint Forces attacked the military junta stationed in Khuangli village near Falam town, causing heavy casualties on the part of the military junta.

“They attacked the hills occupied by the military junta. The fighting was fierce, but they were forced to retreat after junta’s airstrike conducting. Four members of the military junta were killed and many were injured,” a frontline military source told BBM.

On January 30, fierce fighting broke out between the military junta and the Chin Defense Joint Forces in Somharam village near Falam town, causing casualties the military junta soldiers and a CDF Hualngoram soldier, who was killed.

Although there were clashes between the military junta and the Chin Defense Joint Forces near Falam town, the military junta continued to conduct airstrikes on villages in Falam township where there was no fighting, destroying many houses.

A soldier fired at a corporal in the Htilin Administration Office in Magway Region, trying to kill him and fleeing, so the military junta blocked the roads of the town to find him, locals told BBM.

Yesterday, January 31, a soldier from the 99th Regiment Division stationed at the Htilin Administration Office and his sergeant got into an argument.

“During the argument, a soldier fired at the corporal, who fled outside the town,” a Hilin resident told BBM.

In an attempt to arrest the escaped soldier, the military junta is blocking roads in the town and conducting a search in the surrounding forests.

“Yesterday, the roads in the city were blocked and the soldier was searched, but he has not been caught yet. Today, the search is still ongoing in the forests and mountains near the city. The soldiers are also deployed in the city, and they are desperately searching,” a resident of Htilin told BBM.

The sergeant who was shot was seriously injured and is currently receiving emergency medical treatment.
