The Ministry of Health of the National Unity Government (NUG) announced that Dr. Aung Thae Htut, who was killed during an airstrike carried out by the terrorist military on a public hospital in Matoungta Village, Salingyi Township, Yinmabin District, Sagaing Region, has been officially recognized as a Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) Martyr Hero.
Dr. Aung Thae Htut actively participated in the non-violent CDM and served as the officer-in-charge doctor at Matoungta Township Hospital, providing healthcare services to local residents.
On January 4, the 78th Independence Day of Myanmar, at approximately 2:30 PM, the terrorist military deliberately bombed the public hospital using a gyrocopter, despite no fighting taking place in the area. As a result, Dr. Aung Thae Htut (aged 37) and two hospital kitchen staff members were killed, bringing the total civilian death toll to three. The hospital buildings were also damaged.
The NUG Ministry of Health expressed deep condolences to the families of the innocent civilians who lost their lives and stated that Dr. Aung Thae Htut has been honored as a CDM Martyr Hero.
The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment—together with all ethnic communities—to continue the struggle until the complete eradication of military dictatorship and the establishment of a Federal Democratic Union, honoring the sacrifices of fallen and ongoing revolutionary heroes. - AA Launches Simultaneous Attacks on Kyaukphyu Naval Base and Police Battalion (32); Fierce Fighting Continues in Sittwe
