At least 28 houses in Dway
Cha village under Kyauk Phyu township were destroyed by the fire that erupted
in the afternoon hours of Sunday because of artillery shell-firing by navy
personnel belonging to the junta targeting populous areas with no provocation.
Since the early morning
hours on 21 April, the Taung Maw Gyi naval base in Sane town and naval vessels
in Than Zit river fired artillery shells continuously. After some hours it
resulted in destroying many houses in Dway Cha village.
"I cannot remember
how many times the junta forces fired the shells. Some artillery shells
landed in Dway Cha village and the fire engulfed many houses,” said a local
resident, adding that the fire continued to blaze till 2 pm in the village.
Lately, the junta forces have been firing
indiscriminately towards the villages without any provocation. Taung Maw Gyi
naval base continues firing for many days now.
By 10:30 am on 10
April, two artillery shells fired from the Taung Pone Gyi naval base exploded
in Shwe Hin Thar ward.
The residents informed Narinjara News that on 18
April at around 1 pm, Sane town was bombarded with the artillery shells from
the naval vessels docked in Zin Chaung river. The junta forces also conducted
drone attacks which compelled hundreds of families to flee from
their places.
