At the Nwe Ta Me Bridge checkpoint near Sinphyukyun Town, Salin Township, Magway Region, a stabbing incident among soldiers of the coup military led to one death, according to reports.

Around 8:00 PM on July 2, two soldiers from Pakokku Infantry Battalion 101, who were on duty at the coup military's Nwe Ta Me Bridge checkpoint, argued, leading to the stabbing.

"One hit the other on the head with a brick, and the other stabbed with a knife. It was over quickly. They were just ordinary soldiers," a local resident said.

The soldier hit with the brick was taken to Sinphyukyun Hospital, while the soldier who was stabbed was buried at Sinphyukyun Cemetery, according to reports.

Previously, on June 30, in Sinphyukyun Town, Salin Township, a woman delivering cooked rice to the coup military's checkpoints was shot and killed by a drug-addled soldier of the coup military, who climbed onto her house to shoot her.
