Terrorists’ rocket attack kills six in Lashio

The terrorists launched attacks in Lashio of Shan State (North) for no reason, killing six locals, including three children aged 12 and 14, yesterday.
The insurgents started a rocket attack about 4,000 metres from northeast of Lashio, and the shells fell on a house on Tharyar Street in ward 1 in area 3 of Lashio and exploded. Six people, including three children aged 12 and 14, one male and two females, were killed in the explosion. The dead were taken to Lashio General Hospital by security force members and social welfare organizations. Launching terrorist attack in towns and wards where the people peacefully live means committing a war crime, and the security force members conducted counter-terrorism operations together with locals. — MNA/KTZH
