Residents flee as Junta troops move into Pyar Taung villages, Kyaikmayaw Township #Mon
November 3, 2025
HURFOM: Local sources report that Junta forces have launched a large operation across the Pyar Taung area of Kyaikmayaw Township, Mon State, prompting civilians to leave their homes. Many of those fleeing are young people, fearful of arrests, forced conscription, and clashes as columns advance.
Since October 26, more than 200 soldiers have entered multiple villages, including Kawt Doon, Kawt Pa Naw, Kawt Wan, Kwan Ngan, Mea Karo, and Katon Si villages, and have conducted searches along roads, on farms, and inside private homes. Residents say troops are reinforcing their units and stopping vehicles for inspections as they push deeper into the area.
The soldiers are currently based inside the MCL cement factory at Pyar Taung and have shelled nearby communities and used drones in attacks, heightening concerns that heavy fighting could break out soon with resistance forces.
People’s Defense Forces are active across Kyaikmayaw Township, where large areas are now outside the Junta’s control. In Pyar Taung specifically, Mon and Karen ethnic resistance groups are reported to hold significant influence, raising fears that civilians may be caught between opposing sides as the situation escalates.
