  • False reports spread on arson and civilian arrest in Pauk Township

MALICIOUS news media have been found spreading false reports that security forces set fire to Kyauklone Village in Pauk Township, Magway Region, and arrested a civilian.
A responsible security official clarified that the reports of security forces burning down houses in the village were false and that no civilians were arrested. He added that insurgents who oppose regional stability have been intimidating residents. These groups are responsible for acts such as arson in villages that do not support them and the abduction or killing of civilians.
Security forces continue to carry out necessary operations to ensure public safety. Meanwhile, subversive news media are deliberately spreading misinformation using misleading photos to create public misunderstanding about security forces. — MNA/KZL
