Thousands of civilians from more than 10 villages in Sinphyukyun area of Salin Township, Magway Region, have been forced to flee their homes as the military junta launched an offensive operation in the region. On the morning of March 7, approximately 200 military troops entered villages in the Sinphyukyun area, causing mass displacement of local residents. The military has established outposts near the villages and has been firing heavy weapons, forcing entire communities to evacuate to safer locations.
According to a representative from the Salin Township People’s Defense Force, while there have not been any direct confrontations with revolutionary forces yet, fighting could break out at any time. As a result, they have decided to temporarily close the Salin-Tanaung road section for public safety. The public has been warned not to travel on this route under any circumstances. The military’s offensive has created widespread fear and anxiety among local residents, who have had to abandon their homes and property, leaving them concerned about their safety and security. The situation has severely disrupted daily life in the Sinphyukyun region, with civilians facing significant challenges in meeting their basic needs.
The military junta’s operations in the Sinphyukyun area have severely impacted the daily lives of local residents, who are now struggling with displacement and economic hardship.
