Local residents report that one woman was killed and over 10,000 civilians were forced to flee after military council forces launched artillery attacks and burned homes in villages across the river island area of Yeisagyo Township, Magway Region. The incident began around 6 AM on March 2nd when military troops entered Myaysone village and fired heavy weapons at Sinchayar village, resulting in one woman’s death and injuries to two others, according to local sources.
Military council soldiers have burned down three villages – Myaysone village, Ywarhtit village, and Mingalar Chan village – while continuing to shell surrounding villages with heavy weapons. The exact number of destroyed homes cannot yet be confirmed as military troops remain deployed in the area. Local residents estimate that people from more than 10 villages, totaling over 10,000 civilians, have been forced to flee to safer locations. The military’s presence in the area has made it difficult to assess the full extent of damage and destruction.
According to a local resident, military council troops based in Myaysone Ywarhtit have been firing artillery at Sinchayar village and targeting displaced civilians who are trying to escape. The ongoing military occupation of the area has prevented accurate assessment of casualties and damage, while local civilians have been forced to abandon their homes and possessions to seek safety elsewhere. The attacks have created a humanitarian crisis in the area as thousands of villagers struggle to find secure shelter away from the military’s operations.
