SAGAING DIVISION – The junta subordinate Pyu Saw Htee forces that raided Thapyaytha Village in Shwebo Township and torched over 30 houses fought among themselves and four of them were killed by infighting, according to the local people.
On December 9, around 300 Pyu Saw Htee militants from the villages of Myinchin, Panyan and Zeekone raided Thapyaytha Village and got into a fight among themselves, resulting in the death of four of them.
On December 10, they set fire to over 30 houses in the village and also discarded the bodies of the dead Pyu Saw Htee criminals in the village.
“Thapyaytha Village was set on fire even though there was no battle. It was done by around 300 Pyu Saw Htee thugs. Four dead bodies were found in the village. We got information from reliable sources that those four were killed during an infighting between the Pyu Saw Htee forces. Around 30 houses were burned and destroyed. No civilians were captured or murdered. They fought and killed among themselves but tried to spin it as if the villagers killed them and so they set fire to the village,” reported the residents.
