Myanmar junta forces torched nearly 200 homes in the northwestern region of Sagaing, the latest incident in a campaign to punish communities that support insurgents that has seen more than 100,000 homes burned since a 2021 coup, residents and a monitoring group said on Wednesday.
Sagaing, which stretches from central low lands up to mountains on the border with India, has been embroiled in fighting that surged across Myanmar after the military ousted an elected government four years ago.
