In Kyin village of Sagaing Township, Sagaing Region, 18 civilian homes were destroyed in an arson attack carried out by military forces, according to local sources. On May 28, military council troops entered the village in a column formation and systematically burned down residential houses belonging to villagers. Due to the military’s brutal actions, local residents have been forced to flee and are still unable to return to their homes.
The military forces frequently conduct operations from Mingun toward the shipyard area south of Kyin village, causing constant fear and anxiety among local residents. In this incident, villagers managed to escape preemptively from the military’s attack, preventing any casualties. However, after systematically burning down houses in the village and departing, residents are still facing difficulties returning to their homes due to security concerns. The military’s deliberate destruction of civilian properties has left the community in a state of uncertainty and displacement.
Throughout Sagaing Region, the military’s continued arson attacks have resulted in the destruction of civilian homes, schools, religious buildings, and businesses, severely disrupting the daily lives of local residents. The military’s violence has forced many civilians to flee their homes, creating a humanitarian crisis with increasing needs for assistance. The systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure has left communities devastated and in need of humanitarian aid, while the military continues its campaign of violence against civilian populations in the region.
