A powerful explosion occurred on Sunday in the village of Kaungtup, in the Namhkam district of northeastern Myanmar, resulting in the death of over 40 people and injuring approximately 70, according to rescue workers. The incident took place in a building that stored explosives for mining, and the exact number of victims varies between 40 and 59, according to various media sources. The explosion damaged numerous residential buildings in the area, and rescue teams continue to search for survivors under the rubble.

The Ta'ang National Liberation Army (TNLA), which controls the area, confirmed that it had stored gelignite for mining operations and expressed condolences for the victims, announcing an investigation into the causes of the explosion. Although the TNLA signed a ceasefire with the Myanmar army in October 2023, relations remain tense. The explosion highlighted the risks associated with improper storage of explosives, which can become unstable over time.
