Associations condemn MNDAA’s acts of terrorism

The Young Men’s Buddhist Association (YMBA) of Shan State and the Kokang Ethnic Literary and Cultural Association (Yangon) issued statements firmly rejecting and condemning terrorist activities of the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA).
MNDAA has recently committed attacks using rockets, heavy weapons, and drones against the hospital, a non-military target, and local neighbourhoods in Lashio, northern Shan State. These attacks have resulted in the deaths and injuries of locals, departmental staff, and family members of security personnel receiving medical treatment at the hospital. Furthermore, some individuals were unlawfully detained, and several residents were forced to flee their homes.
Both the Young Men’s Buddhist Association (YMBA) of Shan State and the Kokang Ethnic Literary and Cultural Association (Yangon) denounced these acts as war crimes and inhumane terrorism, expressing their complete rejection and strong condemnation of MNDAA’s violent acts. — MNA/KZL
