Army Major General Zaw Min Tun, a spokesperson for the Tatmadaw said, “We are launching an investigation about that incident, in case, if there are any discrepancies or weaknesses in handling the said case.” 

Zaw Min Tun said the Tatmadaw brought the bodies of two boys to their village, Pyin-shay, a Muslim area, and took the injured child to a military hospital for treatment.
