Number of conflict-displaced persons increased by over 80,000 within one month

Over 80,800 people have been displaced within one month in the Tanintharyi Region due to military offensives, airstrikes, and civilian arrests around the Dawei seaport area.

Although fighting has lessened due to the rainy season, airstrikes continue, according to information from FE 5 Tanintharyi.

FE 5 Tanintharyi’s official Kyaw said, in May, the military situation continued to be tense in Dawei and Launglon, with locals forced to flee their villages and who remained displaced.
