Clashes in these townships have triggered indiscriminate SAC air and artillery attacks close to the pipelines, raising fears of a deadly pipeline explosion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Airstrikes along the pipelines began on October 29, when SAC aircraft bombed Kyaukkyan village, six kilometers west of Nawngkhio town on the Muse-Mandalay highway, where Ta\u2019ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) and Mandalay PDF troops were active. The airstrike damaged a Hindu temple in the village, killing a man and injuring two other civilians. The southern edge of Kyaukyan village lies less than 100 meters from the pipelines.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3589\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3589\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shanhumanrights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3589\" src=\"https:\/\/shanhumanrights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanhumanrights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/shanhumanrights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/shanhumanrights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shanhumanrights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/shanhumanrights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2-315x420.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3589\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">SAC airstrike damage in Paukner quarter, Namkham town<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Over the next few days, SAC continued launching airstrikes to drive out TNLA and PDF troops from villages along the highway west of Nawngkhio town, damaging about 30 houses, killing one man and injuring three other civilians. Two of the villages where bombs landed, Shwe Nyaung Pin and Oom Markha, lie close to the pipelines.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On November 6, TNLA and PDF troops attacked a SAC camp guarding the Gokteik bridge, where the Muse-Mandalay highway crosses into Kyaukme township. This triggered SAC airstrikes over the next few weeks along the highway east of the Gokteik Bridge in Nawng Ping village tract, Kyaukme township, which injured a man and damaged over 20 houses in four villages near the pipelines. On November 15, a bomb fell only about 200 meters from the Zee Pin pipeline station. At 5 pm that evening, about 50 SAC troops came and ransacked the pipeline station, and looted about 20 houses in nearby Pang Din village, stealing rice, oil and other household items. SAC media then broadcast pictures of the ransacked pipeline station, blaming TNLA for the damage.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shanhumanrights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Overall_English-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3615\" src=\"https:\/\/shanhumanrights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Overall_English-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"816\" height=\"1056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanhumanrights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Overall_English-1.jpg 816w, https:\/\/shanhumanrights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Overall_English-1-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/shanhumanrights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Overall_English-1-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/shanhumanrights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Overall_English-1-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shanhumanrights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Overall_English-1-696x901.jpg 696w, https:\/\/shanhumanrights.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Overall_English-1-325x420.jpg 325w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the second half of November, fighting spread along the highway east of Kyaukme town into Hsipaw township, resulting in indiscriminate shelling and shooting by SAC troops in and around Hsipaw town, killing one man and injuring eight other civilians.
