The military bases 379 and 541 in Minbya town are also two miles distance from the shells landing grounds.
A resident who does not want to publish his name said, “The army intentionally fired the shells to the three separate villages from far distance. When their comrades are suffered heavy casualties, they fire the shells and shoot the guns into the populated villages as they always do to the other villages since the war began.”
Eight civilians were killed and 11 villagers injured in Kyauk Seik by the military shells on April 14. The soldiers arrested 39 more villagers from the same village on April 19.
Despite UN right body called for Myanmar government to respect human rights and international law and avoid targeting civilians, Myanmar army put aside the calls but rampage civilians in Rakhine State.
