Myanmar resistance leader killed in accidental shooting during dispute between fighters

The victim’s husband has denied claims on pro-junta social media channels that the killing was deliberate. . . The resistance leader was a member of the People's Defence Force (PDF) since the February 2021 coup. She was reportedly supporting PDF activities in Yangon Region, which is under the military junta's control. The incident is said to have occurred during a dispute between members of the PDF unit she belonged to. The dispute escalated, and a gun was accidentally discharged, hitting her. Her husband strongly insists that the incident was an accident and not intentional. Pro-junta social media channels have been spreading information that this resistance leader was killed in an internal conflict, but her husband has dismissed these claims as false. Since the coup in 2021, resistance against the military junta has intensified in Myanmar, with many citizens joining organizations like the PDF. However, internal disagreements within resistance groups and disinformation campaigns by the military junta have also been pointed out, making the situation complex.
