Fake News: False news on attack in Thaton

Fake news circulating on social media alleges that the Tatmadaw launched a heavy weapons attack on Thaton in Mon State, forcing about 400 residents to flee from their homes.

In response to these claims, a local security officer has refuted the allegations, asserting that there was no such attack by the Tatmadaw. Instead, the terrorist insurgents targeted military columns engaged in a security operation, launching heavy weapons and dropping bombs, resulting in explosions in residential areas.

The subversive media outlets, purportedly supportive of the terrorists, are disseminating false news to divert attention from the actions of the PDF terrorists and certain ethnic armed organizations.
