Taung Pyauk residents flee homes due to military operation
August 24, 2023
HURFOM: In the morning of August 21, 2023, a junta’s military unit invaded the Taung Pyauk village tract, in Tha Yet Chaung Township, Dawei District, Tenasserim Division.
As a result, many residents fled from their homes.
More than 100 Burmese troops established a base of operations at the police station in Tell Chaung Gyi village. Residents from Kywe Chan, Win Ka Phaw, Ah Lell Zu and Kyuak Eye villages soon fled from their homes.
“Before launching military operations, they usually reinforce their troops, as they did in Tell Chaung Gyi Police Station. The villagers knew they planned to move the elderly people the next morning. Now residents from four villages have to run away,” said a local man.
At noon of August 21, the junta started launching reckless artillery attacks.
“During the military operation, they arrest men and use them as human shields. Since the attempted coup, we’re unable to live peacefully at home. Once before we returned to our homes after a similar military operation but again we have to run away when soldiers re-entered our village,” said a woman from Taung Pyauk village track.
