In February 2019, in Kuktai Township of northern Shan State, Tatmadaw soldiers opened fire on two Ta’ang civilians, wounding an 18 year old man who later died from his injuries.1122 Information received by the Mission indicates that the Tatmadaw had entered the village earlier that evening, during a local festival, and shot at the two men who were fleeing out of fear upon seeing the soldiers. 1123 The Tatmadaw later paid compensation of 200,000 Kyat (135 USD) to the victim’s family.1124 483. In June 2018, Tatmadaw soldiers belonging to 88th LID fired into civilian populated areas in Kuktai Township of northern Shan State.1125 The attack took place early in the morning, at a time when most villagers were still asleep. It resulted in the killing of an 8 year old Ta’ang boy, the injuring of an additional seven Ta’ang civilians, including a 7 year old boy, and damage to civilian property.1126 The Tatmadaw assisted the injured and paid compensation to the affected families after the incident.1127 The Mission received reports that, while a large group of TNLA fighters had been present in the village on the previous day, only two fighters remained in the village at the time of the attack.1128 484.
