On October 23, at 9 PM, IB-422 (junta Infantry Battalion), situated in Mongpai, fired heavy weaponry near Kone Thar Village, Loikaw Township, Kayah State. One of the artillery shells exploded near a farm hut where a family was seeking refuge. A man was killed on the spot, while his wife was seriously injured in the head and their 8-year-old son was also injured in the thigh.
