Military council forces have conducted continuous raids on villages in Yayphyu Township, Tanintharyi Region, using three columns of troops, and have detained ten civilians from Kyar Inn village, according to local military sources. Beginning on July 26, approximately 200 military council troops, divided into three columns, entered the Kyar Inn village area and conducted systematic raids on local villages. During these operations, ten civilians were detained at a school located at the Kyar Inn village junction. The military’s presence has forced thousands of residents from more than ten villages, including Kyar Inn village and surrounding communities, to flee to safer locations.
Local sources report that military council forces are conducting house-to-house searches within the villages and are believed to be confiscating valuable items. Local residents speculate that the detained civilians may be used as human shields or forced porters by the military forces. The current presence of military troops in the area has made it difficult to obtain detailed information about the situation within the affected villages. The military columns continue to maintain their presence in the area, creating an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty among the local population.
Additionally, military council troops are conducting patrol operations using motorized boats along the border areas between Yayphyu and Launglone townships. Military sources have warned local residents to remain vigilant due to the possibility of armed confrontations in the region. The ongoing military presence and operations have significantly disrupted civilian life in the area, with local communities facing increased security risks and restrictions on their movement. The situation remains tense as military forces continue their operations in the region, with limited information available about the specific conditions within the affected villages due to the continued presence of military personnel.
