The junta troops attacked a camp of the People’s Defence Force (PDF) near Kyauktaung village in Myaing Township in Magway Region with the use of excessive forces and torched the weapons of the M7 People’s Defense Army, officials told the Than Lwin Times.
“The military threatened to kill a villager. The villager had to pay five ticals of gold and more than 3.5 million kyats. The junta troops arrested around one-third of the people in Kyauktaung Township. I cannot estimate how many villagers the military has detained as the village is big. We have rescued around 100 villagers. I have not got any contact with the villagers taking shelter at the monastery,” an official of the M7 People’s Defense Army told the Than Lwin Times.
In addition, the junta soldiers are looting the public’s properties in Kyauktaung village. The junta has cut off phone lines, he added.
