Northern Shan State remained under attack yesterday, this time in Muse, near the Chinese border, when two cars carrying aid workers were attacked, causing one man to be seriously injured, state media reported on 22 November.
According to the report, an armed group identified by the government as a combined force of KIA, TNLA and MNDAA opened fire on two automobiles owned by the Myittamon Philanthropic team and the Parami Civil Society in Muse Township as the cars headed to the 105 mile trade zone to help displaced people.
Yesterday’s attack came after Kutkai on Sunday endured repeated heavy artillery fire in several attacks by the KIA, the TNLA and the MNDAA, resulting in eight deaths and 29 injuries, according to the State Counsellor’s Office Information Committee.
