On November 15, 2024, junta forces conducted an aerial bombing in Kone Law Village, Momauk Township, Kachin State. The explosion struck the Kachin Baptist church, instantly killing six family members—Lazum Zing Wa, his wife Npyen Mun Mai and their children Lazum Myu Jat Awng, Lazum Sa Ra Seng, Lazum May Sen Pan, and Lazum Sut Zai Li—as well as three other children, Gawlu Gun Seng Maw, Sumlut Mung Htoi Awng, and Lashi Tawm San. They were seeking refuge near the church at the time of their deaths. They died as a result of bomb shrapnel.
