Ko Pan Seinn, aged 37, from Nam Kyan village, Lashio Township, northern Shan State, stepped on a landmine and lost both legs, a local told Shwe Phee Myay.

The incident occurred just after 10 a.m. on February 2 while he was working in his field.

"The landmine had been in their orchard for a long time. We don’t know who planted it. It had been there in front of their hut for a while. A few days ago, he slept overnight in his orchard, and yesterday morning while talking on the phone with his wife, he either stepped on or touched that landmine—we don’t know which. It exploded at that moment and hit his legs."
