A civilian lost part of her leg and sustained facial injuries in a landmine blast in Rakhine state on Monday, the woman’s brother said, as unexploded ordnance from a two-year-long armed conflict continues to maim or kill villagers in war zones, RFA reported.

The incident occurred amid a nearly two-month lull in fighting between the Myanmar military and the Arakan Army (AA), which seeks greater autonomy for ethnic Rakhine people in the state. The two sides agreed to refrain from clashes so that elections could be held in several Rakhine townships excluded from November’s nationwide elections for security reasons.

Khin San May, 43, of Ouk Khabaw village in Kyauktaw township, stepped on the landmine while gathering firewood in the mountains near the community, said her younger brother Kyaw Hla Htay.
