Malicious media outlets are intentionally spreading misinformation, claiming that Tatmadaw launched artillery attacks near Paletaung Village in Buthidaung township of Rakhine State, resulting in the death of three civilians and eight injured on 23 January.
According to the ground information and a security official, the security forces did not shell heavy weapons. Still, AA terrorists fired on villages of Buthidaung township on 23 January, and the shells exploded in Paletaung village.
Similarly, false information saying two civilians from Phoe Ingone of Lainpinwae village and one civilian from Warchae village in Kyaukgyi Township of Bago Region were injured, and four houses demolished in the attacks of Tatmadaw on 21 January was spreading on social media.
According to the investigation, terrorists launched attacks on Tatmadaw convoy and security outposts near villages in that township, and they also committed drop bomb attacks.
Malicious media outlets are circulating false news to attack Tatmadaw in a political way, defame Tatmadaw and cause misunderstanding between Tatmadaw and the people. — MNA/KTZH
