掸邦的战争景象。

An internally displaced person (IDP) was shot and killed on May 18 in Ohnmathee village, Nawngkio (Naung Cho) Township, as fighting intensifies between the Myanmar military and the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA).

5月18日，随着缅甸军方与德昂民族解放军（TNLA）之间的战斗加剧，一名国内流离失所者（IDP）在Nawngkio （Naung Cho）镇Ohnmathee村被枪杀。

The victim, identified as Sai Aik Leng, was reportedly starting a tractor near Hkiohkam Monastery around 10:30 a.m. when a sniper bullet struck him in the chest, killing him instantly. The monastery, which currently shelters over 100 displaced villagers, came under fire from unidentified armed individuals positioned in a nearby house, according to eyewitnesses.

据报道，受害者Sai Aik Leng在上午10点30分左右在Hkiohkam寺附近启动一辆拖拉机时，一颗狙击手的子弹击中了他的胸部，当场死亡。据目击者称，这座目前收容了100多名流离失所村民的寺院遭到了驻扎在附近一所房子里身份不明的武装人员的袭击。

“There was gunfire near the monastery at the Ohnmathee junction in the morning,” a local resident told SHAN. “Sai Aik Leng was preparing to go to the fields when he was shot. There were no junta troops nearby, only TNLA soldiers.”

“早上在Ohnmathee交界处的寺院附近有枪声，”一名当地居民告诉掸邦先驱新闻社。“赛艾灵被枪杀时正准备下地。附近没有军政府部队，只有TNLA士兵。”

Hkiohkam Monastery lies close to active frontlines. TNLA forces are believed to have set up positions near the monastery, while Myanmar military troops are stationed further inside Ohnmathee village. Residents report frequent skirmishes in the area, with both sides using heavy artillery and drones.

浩康寺靠近活跃的前线。据信TNLA部队在寺院附近设立了阵地，而缅甸军队则驻扎在Ohnmathee村更深处。居民们报告说，该地区经常发生小规模冲突，双方都使用重型火炮和无人机。

SHAN reached out to TNLA spokesperson Lwe Yey Oo for comment, but has not received a response as of publication time.

SHAN联系了TNLA发言人Lwe Yey Oo寻求评论，但截至发稿时尚未收到回应。

The killing comes just days after a similar incident. On May 14, Sai Nyunt, 55, was fatally shot in Yaemawngtan village, Samma village tract, while on his way to cut banana trees with his wife. He died instantly from a chest wound. A second individual at the scene was injured and is currently receiving medical treatment in a TNLA-controlled area.

就在几天前，发生了一起类似事件。5月14日，55岁的赛纽特（Sai Nyunt）在Samma村yaemawangtan村与妻子一起砍香蕉树的路上被枪杀。他胸部受伤，当场死亡。现场另一人受伤，目前正在tnla控制区接受治疗。

“TNLA troops are active around here,” said a resident of Nawngkio. “We’ve warned people to be extremely careful when going to the fields. The ongoing conflict has surrounded our communities and made everyday life perilous.”

“TNLA部队在这附近很活跃，”Nawngkio的一名居民说。“我们已经警告人们去田里要格外小心。持续的冲突包围了我们的社区，使我们的日常生活变得危险。”

Earlier, on April 1, the TNLA reported that a nine-vehicle convoy operated by the Chinese Red Cross came under fire from Myanmar military forces while delivering earthquake relief supplies near Ohnmathee. The incident was later confirmed by junta spokesperson Maj. Gen. Zaw Min Tun.

早些时候，4月1日，TNLA报道说，中国红十字会的9辆车队在奥马塞附近运送地震救援物资时遭到缅甸军队的袭击。随后，军政府发言人Zaw Min Tun少将证实了这一事件。
