Myanmar military raids villages on Magway-Rakhine border after attack on junta base

Junta troops arrested more than a dozen villagers on Monday, a day after resistance forces destroyed a junta outpost in Ngape Township, Magway Region, according to local sources.

At least 17 people from two villages, including five women, were detained in an apparent response to Sunday’s attack on the military’s hilltop outpost near Ngape Township’s Zin Pyun village, some 22 miles from Magway Region’s border with Rakhine State.
