Subversive media’s false claim: Security forces killed citizens in Minhla, Kyauktaga

Certain media outlets are deliberately spreading misinformation, claiming that security forces in Minhla and Kyauktaga Townships, Bago Region, killed over ten civilians during security operations.
The truth is, on 29 and 31 May, PDF terrorists launched attacks on security forces in both townships using heavy weapons and small arms. This resulted in an exchange of fire. Following the clashes, security forces recovered two bodies of PDF, two improvised firearms, and explosive materials.
A local security official has categorically denied the allegations that security forces killed civilians.
These media outlets are acting shamefully by fabricating news stories that contradict what actually happened on the ground. They aim to deflect attention from the violence perpetrated by terrorists and sow mistrust towards the security forces. — MNA/ TRKM
