Two Rohingya women were killed after artillery shells hit a village in the Myanmar’s western Rakhine state on Friday, according to media reports and a lawmaker.<\/span><\/p>\n

Narinjara, a local news service, reported that two Rohingya women, 18 and 28, were killed and eight villagers injured when the shells landed in Kin Taung village in Buthidaung Township on early Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aung Thaung Shwe, a lower house lawmaker from Buthidaung Township, confirmed the incident.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe incident happened on Friday at around 2.00 a.m. (730GMT). Two houses were directly hit by the shells.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result, two women were killed and eight wounded villagers were taken to hospital in Buthidaung town,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

It remains unclear whether Myanmar military Arakan Army \u2013 a predominantly Buddhist ethnic group — fired the shells.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, a senior official of Rakhine’s regional government believed it was fired from a nearby military battalion.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhenever there is an incident in Muslim villages, we found it is due to the military,\u201d said the official on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

The incident happened just two days after the International Court of Justice ordered Myanmar to take measures to protect Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine state from genocide.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the clear message from military that they are not accepting the ICJ ruling\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHow the government will be able to follow the ICJ\u2019s ruling to take provisional measures since it has no control over the military,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n
