Malicious media spreads false reports on Myitsone Village incident

SUBVERSIVE media outlets falsely reported that security forces carried out an airstrike on Myitsone Village in Myaung Township, Sagaing Region, on 3 February, destroying two houses. Investigations have confirmed that this claim is baseless. 

According to security officials and residents, security forces have been conducting necessary security measures to prevent terrorists from using these townships as hideouts. They have not targeted villages that are not military objectives and there have been no attacks in such areas. Terrorists have deliberately launched drone and heavy weapon attacks on villages and neighbourhoods that do not support them, aiming to instil fear among residents. Reports indicate that malicious news media intentionally fabricated this story to conceal terrorist activities and mislead the public about the actions of security forces. — MNA/KZL
