[Myanmar] Explosions/Remote violence: Remote explosive/landmine/IED

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On March 31, 2025, a landmine explosion near Gyoe Gyar Kwin village in Myanmar's Rakhine state injured a 64-year-old woman, resulting in the amputation of her left leg. The incident occurred in Toungup township, with the explosive device planted by an unidentified armed group.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. If confirmed and part of a broader pattern of mine deployment, such incidents could restrict civilian movement and access to rural areas in Rakhine state, potentially affecting local agricultural activities and transportation networks.

Watch points

• Monitor for additional mine incidents or reports of systematic mine deployment in the region that could indicate escalating security conditions
• Track any official responses from Myanmar authorities or humanitarian organizations regarding mine clearance operations in affected areas
