Reports of security forces detaining over 250 innocent people and destroying shelters and motorbikes in Budalin Township, Sagaing Region, have been categorically denied by authorities, who label them as false.

A security official described these allegations, circulated by certain media outlets, as unfounded and fabricated. The official stated that security forces are conducting standard security operations in the region and have not been involved in any acts of arson or destruction of civilian properties.

The official claimed that the actual perpetrators of such violence are terrorists, who allegedly target villages that do not support them. These groups are accused of burning properties, detaining residents, and committing killings.

The circulation of false reports by certain news media is a deliberate attempt to mislead the public, damage the reputation of security forces, and obscure the violent activities of insurgents. According to the official, this misinformation campaign aims to manipulate public perception and divert attention from the actions of terrorist groups.
