“The situation isn’t good in the village. Everyone has run away. Not only our village but also other villages have fled. We come back to check our houses in the daytime but no one dares to sleep at home at night. The army is launching artillery attacks and some villagers got injured. They are still launching their attacks as of today,” said a Than Pa Yar villager.
