Woman Injured By Landmine In Falam

On Saturday, a 26-year-old woman lost her right leg after she accidentally detonated a concealed landmine in Falam Township, Chin State.

Pi Laltanpuii, who’s from Zokhawhta, which is located in India’s Mizoram State, stepped on the hidden explosive device near Satawm while she was on her way to visit her husband in the township in northern Chin.

“Her husband returned to his parents’ house at Leilet in Falam township after falling ill,” explained a nurse at Mercy Clinic in Zokhawhta.

The accident occurred about 20 miles from the village, which is not far from the Indian border.

Hidden landmines pose a constant threat to civilians, but it’s unclear which of the armed groups laid the mine that injured Pi Laltanpuii.

The junta has launched a massive air and ground offensive against various Chin resistance groups fighting the dictatorship.”
