MALICIOUS media circulated misinformation claiming that security forces torched Kyaukpone and Khepyit villages in Sedoktara and Pwintbyu townships, Magway Region, and over 2,000 residents had to flee their villages on 28 November.

According to a security official, security forces conducted security measures in these villages following rules and regulations and did not make villages ablaze. They protect the lives and properties of people sacrificing their lives, and terrorists stationed in villages and launched attacks taking sheltering at pagodas, schools and houses. Moreover, terrorists set fire to villages and arrested and murdered villagers.

Subversive media attempts to cause misunderstanding between residents and security forces and defame security forces through social network pages.
