On June 23rd 2022 at 1:30 pm, State Administration Council (SAC)[3] soldiers from Light Infantry Battalion (LIB)[4] #404 under Light Infantry Division (LID)[5] #44 intentionally shelled three mortar shells (120 mm) into Wah K’Teh (Win Ka Taing) village, Aee Sooh Hkee (Ah Su Chaung) village tract, Bilin Township, Doo Tha Htoo District. The soldiers were based at an army camp in Na Gyi village, Shway Aye village tract, Bilin Township. Three goats were injured due to the shelling. The final mortar shell landed next to a teacher's house, injuring the teacher, Naw San San Win (also known as Naw Aye), and immediately killing her one-year-old daughter, Naw Win Kyu La.
Naw San San Win is a teacher in Wah K’Teh village. On June 23rd, she forgot to bring her umbrella to school, so at about 1:30 pm she returned to her home to get it when an SAC mortar landed next to her house. Her daughter passed away at the time of the incident [after sustaining an injury to her left leg]. The teacher, Naw San San Win, was seriously injured [on her back] but she was still alive, so her neighbours took her to Bilin Hospital. She passed away during the two-hour journey to the hospital. |
