SAGAING DIVISION – Locals reported that more than 100 civilians’ houses were wiped out by junta’s arson raids in Thar Si Village on the southern part of Kale Township.
The arsonist junta soldiers intentionally ignited the residential houses in Thar Si Village every day, starting on the afternoon of August 16, so far, more than 100 have been burned to the ground. In August, the nefarious junta soldiers committed arson attacks for 5th time in Thar Si Village.
“There were more than 100 houses that were burnt down. They (the junta soldiers) were torching the houses here and there. They were still setting fire at the reporting time. Around 200 of the atrocious junta forces carried out offensive attacks. Some were killed and there were some reinforcements, and I can’t say the exact numbers of junta forces. The junta-backed militants and the pro-junta Pyu Saw Htee thugs also committed crimes against humanity along with the genocidal junta soldiers,” said a local.
The terrorist junta used chemical gas in the heavy weapons, while they were conducting offensive attacks in Thar Si Village on August 15. The people near the explosion of the heavy weapon suffered from unconscious, suffocation, body aches and pains.
