SAGAING DIVISION – People’s Defense Comrade Information Officer Htoo Khant Zaw (Mother’s Son) said that thousands of people from more than ten villages are fleeing because the terrorist army is launching offensives into the villages in Ye U Township.
On December 15, at around 6:00 a.m., a terrorist army column with the strength of about 70 from Ye U Township entered Moak Si Village and Mu Sai Village in the west of Ye U Township, causing thousands of people from more than ten villages to flee.
Currently thousands of villagers from the villages in the western part of Ye U Township including Ngayot Tone, Moak Si, Kon Gyi, Kon Tan, Hnaw Kon, Ywa Meik Tha, Muse Hsone, Aung Tha, Masoe Yein and Pyaw Bwe are said to be fleeing for their safety.
“It’s the same column that came out of Kaboe, Kantbalu District and returned to Ye U. They started to leave Ye U and headed to the west at around 6:30 this morning (December 15). They entered the monastery of Moak Si Village first. They are pounding the surrounding villages with heavy weapons and small weapons,” said Htoo Khant Zaw, in charge of information in Ye U-based People’s Defense Comrade.
It is not yet confirmed where the terrorist military column will be stationed, but it is being monitored to see where the column will continue to move.
