A man from Alel Ywar Village in Arakan State’s Thandwe Township died on Monday after stepping on a landmine while going to croplands near the village.
“He went to collect vegetables. He died of blood loss,” said a villager. The victim was in his 60s.
Junta troops had been staying in the area before they withdrew on June 2 after clashing with the Arakkha Army (AA), according to residents.
Locals say landmines are increasingly posing a threat not only to their lives but also to their livelihoods.
A farmer from Thandwe Township said: “We want to tell them not to plant mines in places where locals make a living. It is costing the lives of ordinary people.”
Two civilians have been killed and two others were injured by landmines since fighting broke out in Thandwe Township on April 13.
