Myanmar Shelling Kills Two Women, Injures Seven Rohingya

Two women were killed and seven other people were wounded when shells hit a Rohingya village in Myanmar’s Rakhine state on Saturday.

The shelling came two days after the United Nations’ highest court ordered Myanmar to protect the Rohingya.

Maung Kyaw Zan is a member of the national parliament for Buthidaung township in northern Rakhine state.

Zan said shells fired from a nearby battalion hit Kin Taung village in the middle of the night.
