  • Misinformation: Security forces burn Bangbwe Village

FALSE reports stated that security forces burned houses in Bangbwe Village in Yinmabin Township, Sagaing Region, destroying 18 homes. Local officials say this is not true.
A security official explained that terrorists attacked villages and forced people into illegal activities like extortion. In some cases, terrorists burned houses in villages that did not follow their orders. They used heavy weapons to carry out these attacks.
Fabricated stories are spread by malicious news media, which aim to mislead the public and wrongly blame security forces. The official add that it was terrorists, not security forces, who caused fires and violence. — MNA/KZL
