Subversive media spread false claims about security forces in Ye Township

Malicious media are circulating misinformation, falsely claiming that security forces killed a man and arrested two others to use as human shields on 8 July in Ye Township, Mon State.
In reality, security forces conducting operations were attacked by terrorists using heavy weapons from Point-193 Hill in Ye Township. During the ensuing clashes, terrorists retreated eastward with casualties. After the clash, the body of a terrorist, along with an M-16 magazine and five bullets, was recovered. No civilians were killed or arrested, according to an official from the security forces.
Therefore, the subversive media are intentionally fabricating false stories and spreading propaganda on social networking sites to mislead the public about the actions of the security forces in the area. — MNA/TKO
