Spreading False Information: Security operation in Kyauk Tan Village

In a recent incident, the Delta News Agency disseminated fake news on various social media platforms, alleging that security forces conducted a raid on Kyauk Tan Village in Myaung Township of Sagaing Region on December 23rd.

The false information claimed that over ten residents were arrested, with a demand for a 10,000 kyats ransom for each individual. Contrary to these claims, an official from the local area has refuted the allegations, asserting that while security forces did indeed conduct a raid on Kyauk Tan Village, their objective was to seize explosive items to prevent potential terrorist activities.

The official clarified that no local residents were arrested during the operation. The security forces are intensifying their efforts to maintain stability in the state and uphold the rule of law. The certain media outlets, allegedly supporting terrorist acts, have fabricated incidents to create a misunderstanding among the public regarding the actions of the security forces.
