AYEYARWADDY TIMES (Kyaukpyu), July 29 In Kyaukpyu Township, Thayarwady District, Bago Region, the military has been dispatching troops and invading since July 7, carrying out artillery shelling and burning down villages. It has been learned that the homes of provisional government military personnel are also being subjected to arson. The provisional government military is invading Kyaukpyu Township's Alagon Village and nearby villages with a force of around 500 to 600 soldiers, and it is known that on July 23, artillery fire from the Alagon police station resulted in the death of one woman and injuries to another. Furthermore, it has been learned that when the military column entered and burned down villages where, according to military lobbyists, revolutionary forces were said to be in control, not only the homes of local residents but also the family homes of military officers under the provisional government were burned to ashes. "If the PDF were truly in control as they claim, the homes of those military families would not be in this situation. They would be living peacefully. Now, all the villagers are fleeing and are scared," a person assisting the displaced people told the Ayeyarwaddy Times. It is known that the home of a military officer serving at the Mawbi Air Force, the family home of Police Sergeant Ngwe Soe serving at the Alagon camp, and the family home of a military officer serving in Bilin were also burned down in the incident of arson in Moungyin Village. In Kyaukpyu, villages such as Moungyin, Chaunggwa, Nyaungbinsar, and Kwattit have been subjected to arson and destruction since July 19. "A woman from 'Kyawbyee News Agency' is posting false rumors. The military column is attacking the villages she claims are controlled by the PDF. The father-in-law's house of a military officer, along with rice mills, grocery stores, and agricultural equipment, were also burned. A large house of a military officer was also damaged by a drone attack. If the PDF were in control as she claims, that military officer's family would not be able to live there; it is obvious," the person assisting the displaced people added. In addition, in the arson incident in Moungyin Village, an elderly man who could not escape was burned to death in his home, and on July 8, the military, which invaded the Kyakkadan Gyi village, shot and killed a farmer in the field without reason, it is known.
