SAGAING DIVISION – Clashes occurred between the PDF and junta forces between Myo Hla and Second Villages in Kalay Town on Friday (August 11) at around 7 a.m., forcing civilians to flee.
The junta soldiers were stationed at Myo Hla Residential Ward (Former Taung Factory), and the civilians also cremated the bodies of the civilians who were shot dead by the junta troops during the bomb and small arms attacks.
“We were prepared to cremate the bodies at 9 a.m., but due to the bad situation, we did it briefly at 7 a.m. We ran back upon hearing the attacks being launched while at the crematory,” said a resident.
Myo Hla Residential Ward is located on the edge of Kalay Town, and the civilians fled to Kalay Downtown.
The junta soldiers looted and cooked pork last night, as well as looting items from the shops. They also assaulted a civilian, stole his mobile phone, and many civilians fled to Kalay Downtown this morning.
