| 2023-03-19 |
| [T.ME] The death toll includes three Buddhist monks who were shot at close range, according to a post-mortem report, after what opponents of the ruling military junta are calling an army-conducted massacre of civilians. A spox for the junta - two years in power after overthrowing the elected government - claimed it had not harmed civilians but had been involved in clashes with rebel fighters in the the Pinlaung region of southern Shan state. Karenni Nationalities Defense Force (KNDF) and another rebel group penetrated Nan Neint villaged and “violently opened fire…some villagers were killed and injured,” Zaw Min Tun said. |
