One male teenager was killed and two men wounded by Burma Army (BA) shelling in Hakha, northern Chin State.

Locals heard gunfire a few minutes before the shelling began and reported that fourteen-year-old Salai Shalom Van was killed on the spot when a shell hit Kyaw Bok ward in the Chin State capital on the evening of 15 November.

The men were working as security guards for the Moe Hein drinking water factory, where the boy was also present.

Of the two men being treated at Hakha Public Hospital, one lost both legs in the attack.

The BA have a checkpoint in the ward, which is on the road to Matupi and is frequently attacked by the Chinland Defence Force, which is fighting to overthrow the military regime.
