KNU Reports Junta’s Continued Shelling of Civilian Areas Despite Declared Ceasefire<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nApril 4 | Radio NUG<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Karen National Union (KNU) has reported that the Myanmar military junta continued shelling civilian areas in Hpapun District<\/strong>, Karen State, immediately after announcing a ceasefire<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOn April 2<\/strong>, the junta declared a temporary ceasefire from April 2 to April 22<\/strong>, claiming it aimed to prioritize earthquake relief efforts and ensure stability<\/strong>. However, the KNU revealed today (April 4<\/strong>) that the junta immediately violated its own ceasefire declaration<\/strong> by launching artillery attacks on civilian areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAccording to reports:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- On\u00a0April 2, at 5:00 PM<\/strong>, junta forces from\u00a0Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) 350 and LIB 440<\/strong>\u00a0shelled\u00a0Nyaung Chay Htauk village, Shwe Kyin Township<\/strong>\u00a0with\u00a081mm mortar rounds<\/strong>, damaging civilian homes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Despite declaring a ceasefire, the junta continued using airstrikes and drone bombings<\/strong> while civilians were still suffering from the earthquake’s devastation. The KNU described the ceasefire announcement as nothing more than a deceptive publicity stunt<\/strong>, emphasizing that the junta deliberately targets civilian areas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe temporary ceasefire declaration coincided with the BIMSTEC Summit in Bangkok<\/strong>, which the junta leader Min Aung Hlaing is attending<\/strong>. The KNU accused the junta of using the ceasefire as a strategic move to gain international legitimacy<\/strong> while continuing its attacks on civilians<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n========================<\/p>\n\n\n\n
