"On October 1, 2018, at about 6 pm, a 34-year-old farmer riding a motorcycle was shot and killed by a patrol of Burma Army troops from LIB 504 in Kyaukme township, northern Shan State, close to China?s trans-Burma oil and gas pipelines. The farmer, Sai Ai Htun, from Nawng Arng village, about 10 miles east of Kyaukme town, was on his way to his hill farm, when he saw a group of about 15 Burma Army soldiers from Hsipaw-based LIB 504 patrolling near the entrance of his farm.
