HURFOM: The Ah Nin Police Station based in Ah Nin village, Thanbyuzayat Township, Mon State launched constant and indiscriminate attacks on the village damaging a home and forcing all the residents to flee from their homes.

Because of rumors of the joint revolutionary forces attacking the Ah Nin Police Station at noon on March 18, 2024 the village was targeted with indiscriminate artillery attacks.

“The villagers were afraid of possible armed clashes and sought shelter in the nearby forest and plantation farms. The artillery attack damaged a house. The entire village has fled from their homes,” said a local villager.

At the moment, the Karen National Liberation Army and its alliances are stationed at Karen villages near Ah Nin and Well Wun villages.
