The victims are local residents from Lamyang, Nam Wa-Mukchyik village tract, and were hit while traveling on the road.

A frontline source from Waimaw said, “In the Lamyang area, the fighting is very intense. Since last week, the military council troops had stationed themselves at Lamyang Lhaovo Church, but the KIA has now taken it back. Both sides are still engaged in heavy fighting.”
