MAGWAY DIVISION – According to locals, the arsonist junta forces reportedly burned and destroyed Hpa Lan Oh Village (Smart Village) of Pakokku Township for a second time, forcing the entire village to run away.
On August 2, at around 10:00 a.m., the joint column of the brutal junta soldiers and junta-backed Pyu Saw Htee militants of Zee Kone, Shin Ma Kan, Ma Gyi Kan and Aung Thar villages raided and committed arson attacks in Hpa Lan Oh Village. All the village residents had been forced to flee their homes to save their lives.
“They (the junta forces) were setting fire to Hpa Lan Oh Village. The junta dogs (military soldiers) and the pro-junta Pyu Saw Htee militants of Zee Kone, Shin Ma Kan, Ma Gyi Kan and Aung Thar villages committed arson attacks. The residents of the entire village were running away. They unprovokedly burned and destroyed the village,” said a local.
It is reported that on July 12, Hpa Lan Oh Village was burned down by the terrorist junta army, and more than 30 civilians’ houses were burnt to ashes.
