Myanmar militants kill at least 25 people dead in central bombing | War Stories

Myanmar troops have killed at least 25 people in an attack on militants in a Central Southeast Asian town, villagers said on Sunday, as dozens of people fought in a crackdown on insurgents six months ago.

A military spokesman did not respond to Reuters reporters’ request to report the violence at Depayin in Sagaing province, about 300km (200 miles) north of the Naypyidaw capital, which took place on Friday.

The Global New Light of Myanmar government agency said “armed militants” visited security guards guarding the area, killing one and injuring six others. He also said that the attackers would return after the security forces retaliated.

Myanmar is in a state of shock when the Aung San Suu Kyi government riots on February 1, with protests taking place in many parts of the country as well as key staff, including doctors and nurses who have joined a disgruntled party.

In some areas ordinary people have made a “defense” to to carry weapons against the State Administration Council, in which ambassadors throw themselves, they often use hunting rifles or long-range communication devices from household items. Some of these groups were formed in collaboration with the National Unity Government which was set up by supervisors appointed by General Min Min Aung Hlaing.

The latest violence took place on Friday in the town of Depayin in central Sagaing province, about 300km (200 miles) north of Naypyidaw capital.

A resident in Depayin, who did not want to be identified as a threat, told Reuters that four military vehicles had left the military in the village on Friday.

Young men from the People’s Defense Force, which was formed to fight against the military authorities, began to confront them. However, they only had temporary weapons and were forced to return by cash shooters, the citizen said.

“There were people dying on the farms and on the railways. They (soldiers) shot everything that moved, “said one resident, who said his uncle was among the dead.

‘Shooting in the Head’

All 25 bodies were collected after the war, both citizens said.

Some people told the AFP news agency that military vehicles had entered their area and fired shots at a village near the forest in hopes of evicting local security forces.

“We have heard 26 gunshots,” said the villager, who added that the militants had tried to retaliate but had not been able to defend themselves.

“He shot everyone he saw on the road and in the village. They did not have a single target, ”he said.

The Depayin People’s Defense Force said on its Facebook page that 18 of its members had been killed and 11 injured.

At least a dozen militant groups have been fighting for years on the Myanmar border, but Depayin is now in the middle of the Amamar tribe, which also rules the military.

State media reported in a statement that the militants were monitoring the area where they were hiding.

The military protected the “armed terrorists” and later found “four muds and six firearms,” ​​said Myanmar’s Global New Light newspaper, which did not hand over civilians in the village.

The villagers waited until Saturday to leave their homes to see the injured people, said a member of the security services group where they helped repair the bodies.

“Initially we took nine corpses and buried them,” he told AFP, adding that eight others were found by another group and repatriated the same day.

On Sunday, they found eight more bodies.

“I realized from their bodies that many of them had been shot in the head,” he said – a statement from a man who helped move the dead confirmed to AFP.

Violence since the government re-established the government has evicted more than 230,000 people from their homes, according to the United Nations. The Assistance Association for Political Prison, which has been monitoring the situation since the coup, said at least 888 people have been killed by security forces since February and about 5,200 in prisons.

The military has criticized the figures, but did not release their figures.

He asserted that his confession had been obtained through torture, but that his confession had been obtained through torture, but that his confession had been obtained through torture. His remarks have been dismissed by the electoral commission.
