Junta Burns Down 50 Houses in Ahnankwin Village, Karen State

Junta troops have burned down about 50 houses in Ahnankwin Village, in Kyarinnseikgyi Township, Karen State since 29 January 2025 and were continuing to set houses on fire, as of 7 February.

Ahnankwin Village is home to the junta's hill-based Tactical Operation Command (TOC). In 2024, resistance forces attempted, unsuccessfully,  to capture the TOC. There was fierce fighting but the junta managed to keep control of the TOC by sending in reinforcements three times, but it also incurred heavy casualties.
