Response to Fake News: Illegal media outlets spreading fake news

One of the illegal media outlets is spreading the news on social platform that security forces are detaining 100 locals from 3 villages in Yaysagyo Township.

Regarding the news, a concerned official said that just acting on a tip-off that the PDF terrorists were hiding in Zeetaw, KyaukTut and Theltaw villages, security forces just conducted security measures. And, the terrorists attacked the security forces so the security forces had to return fire. The terrorists fled and arms and ammunition were seized.
