In an extremely shocking incident, a plane passenger was recently injured after a bullet that was shot from the ground hit him in mid-air. Yes, you heard that right. A 27-year-old man was travelling on a Myanmar National Airlines plane, which was about to touch down at Loikaw Airport in Myanmar, when he was struck on 30th September. The officials informed that an aircraft carrying 63 passengers was at an height of more than 3,000 feet and on its final approach when it was shot. The aircraft received three shots on the fuselage (see pic). One of them injured a passenger. The man on board suffered an injury to the right side of his face. He was immediately rushed to the hospital after landing. The authorities said that the bullet pierced through the plane before hitting the passenger. A photo shared on Instagram by a page named cabin_crew_club showed the victim sitting in his seat, slumped over, and holding a tissue to the right side of his neck and cheek. Another picture showed the hole in the fuselage of the plane made by the bullet.
The Myanmar military council accused the Karenni National Progressive Party (KNPP) and the People's Defence Force for firing at the aircraft. However, the KNPP has reportedly said that their organisation was not involved in the alleged shooting, and avoids civilian targets. Meanwhile, as per Myanmar Now, the flight bookings for Loikaw-bound flights have been cancelled until further notice. The Myanmar military has also reportedly deployed troops near the airport and has been conducting searches in the area to avoid more such incidents.
