The next day, according to local residents, the military carried out an airstrike on
a jade mining site in Hseng Taung village. The junta also used heavy weapons,
drones, and airstrikes targeting areas such as Maw Maung Lyan, Shar Htaw, Maw
Tawng, and Yu Ma, where civilians live and work. Due to these continuous attacks,
civilians have been suffering daily casualties.
Near the end of the year, amid the junta’s campaigning for its sham election on
December 7, 2025, at around 10:50 PM, a drone bombing attack took place in
Ward (6), Ma Laung village, Maw Hsi Sar village Tract, Lone Khin area. As a result,
three members of a family were killed.
Witnesses reported hearing three drone bomb explosions. Two houses were burned
down, and the bodies of the victims were severely burned. A 7-month-old daughter
and another son survived the attack because they were away searching for jade in
the mining area. When they returned, they found their house burned and their
family members dead. On the same night, another drone attack by the military hit
a monastery in the Aye Mya Thar Yar area, North Phyu Monastery. The dining hall
was damaged, and one person was injured.
Indiscriminate Firing
The firing into local areas in Kachin State has put civilians on high alert. A young
man, aged 17 and a Grade 9 student, was shot and killed on 4 July 2025, while locking
the gate of his home in Maw Maung Layan village. The shooting was carried out
by soldiers from Division 33 of the junta forces during a military column advance.
A few days later, on 12 July 2025, a man was killed while driving a Land Cruiser.
Military forces reportedly opened fire on his vehicle, causing him to fall inside the
car and die.
After fighting near the Lucky Men Hotel in Seik Mu village Tract, retreating military
troops reportedly set up a temporary camp at a gold mining site operated by the
Ever Winner Company in Yuma village, along the Seik Mu–Hpakant road in Seng
Tawng village Tract.
