A malicious media outlet, Khit Thit Media, is spreading false news on social media, accusing the Tatmadaw of firing Taungmaw Village with heavy weapons in Kawlin Township of Sagaing Region twice on Saturday.
The misinformation further alleges that the shelling caused one resident to die of heart failure and burned down one house.
An officer handling security measures clarified that there was no shelling that day.
Terrorists associated with the self-proclaimed PDF have reportedly been targeting residents who do not support their ways. They circulate false reports on social media to distort perceptions about Tatmadaw. — MNA/NT
