More than 60 villages in Minhla Township, Thayarwady District, Bago Region, have been forced to flee as the military junta intensifies artillery bombardments and ground assaults, local resistance forces reported.

Junta troops have reportedly torched at least three villages, and resistance groups estimate that over 10,000 civilians have been displaced amid the escalating violence.

“We can’t yet confirm the number of houses destroyed, as access to the affected areas remains impossible due to ongoing military operations,” said an officer from Thayarwady District Battalion 3802.
