November 28, 2017

While clearing debris away from the gutted place in Myoma Kanyintan ward in Maungtaw with a bulldozer, a thing suspected to be home-made mines attached with two wires (red and black) packed with a blue Cellotape was found.

An 8-year-old Hindu child named Rauchan found the mine while collecting old used commodities in the gutted ground, half of which was seen on the ground.

On receipt of the information, local police examined the material, discovering the material measuring 8 inches in length and 5 inches in diameter to be a home-made mine attached with two wires (red and black).

Then, the team led by Captain Nay Zaw Shine of the battle field company (engineer) arrived, searching for other explosives nearby in combination with the police force. In the search, another local-made mine measuring 6 ½ inches in length and 3 inches in diameter was found.
