HURFOM: At approximately 3 pm on July 27, 2024, the 405th Light Infantry Battalion set fire to three houses in Maung Mell Shaung village, Dawei Township, Tenasserim Division, compelling the entire village to flee.
The regiment arrived in Maung Mell Shaung on July 24 and occupied residential houses.
“We all fled our homes as soon as the regiment arrived. Now they have burned down three houses and looted valuables from the houses they occupied,” said a Maung Mell Shaung resident.
Additionally, the regiment assaulted three villagers who were unable to escape when the soldiers entered the village.
“On the day the regiment arrived, there was extensive gunfire, forcing the entire village to flee. The soldiers are still occupying the houses,” reported a displaced villager.
Maung Mell Shaung village, located just seven miles from Dawei City, has been under military junta operations since early June 2024, forcing thousands of residents to abandon their homes.
