DMG Story || The Hidden Threat of Explosive Remnants of War to Children

By Admin 10 Apr 2026

This video documents the tragic impact of an unexploded 40mm grenade blast that occurred in Waithali Village, Mrauk-U Township, Rakhine State, in August 2025—a devastating incident that shattered the lives and futures of young children.

It features the painful experiences of 11-year-olds Maung Kaung Myat Htun and Maung Phyo Nyein Naing, alongside the heartbreaking grief of their mothers. In addition to their stories, the video provides vital mine risk education (MRE) to help parents in conflict-affected areas protect their children from the dangers of landmines and explosive remnants of war.
