Local residents report that the military council forces have entered Pay Khone Pin village in Pauk Township, Magway Region, burning down homes and forcing the entire village population to flee to safety. On the morning of August 25, Pyu Saw Htee members from Dee Doke Kwin village, along with military council soldiers, conducted a raid on Pay Khone Pin village and systematically set fire to villagers’ homes. The military operation has caused widespread destruction and displacement in the area.
Due to the violent intrusion by the military council forces, villagers have been forced to abandon their homes and possessions to seek refuge in safer locations. As of now, there is no confirmation regarding potential arrests or injuries among the civilian population. According to a local resident, the joint operation by Pyu Saw Htee members and military council soldiers from Dee Doke Kwin village may be related to securing the route for a military council supply convoy that departed from Pauk town. The situation has created significant humanitarian concerns for the displaced villagers.
The military council supply convoy, which departed from Pauk town on August 23, consists of approximately 80 vehicles and has currently reached the area between Phaya Taung village and Ya Gyi Pyin village. The military council has also established multiple checkpoints along the Pakokku-Pauk road and is conducting operations throughout the region. These aggressive actions by the military council forces have resulted in the destruction of civilian properties and forced displacement of local residents, causing significant hardship for the affected communities. The military’s operations continue to disrupt civilian life and create instability in the region, with local residents bearing the brunt of the consequences.
