The Tatmadaw continues to produce and use landmines, deputy defence minister Major General Myint Nwe told parliament yesterday, emphasising that this activity was kept to a minimum. Daw Nan Khan Aye, a Shan Nationalities League for Democracy MP from Shan State’s Namtu township, said it can’t be denied that non-state armed groups are also using landmines and strong explosive weapons – particularly since 2012.
