Junta forces followed airstrikes on the village with ground troops, who raided and then destroyed the village, according to locals.
“Mg Hein Min Tun’s body was taken by his parents and buried. They had to get to it quickly and bury it. We are furious because Nyaung Hla village was deliberately targeted. Do they need to do this much? At first, we thought that they came by helicopter because a battle was about to begin, but it wasn’t. It was clearly their intention to destroy our village. Army forces have been reinforcing for several days before the attack. People have been fleeing since then. No one from our side started the battle first”, said a local.
