In a violent early-morning raid on 16 March, approximately 100 soldiers from the military junta stormed Phalan Pin village in the western sector of Nattalin Township, Bago Region.
The operation, which reportedly began at 5:00 am, resulted in the deaths of three local residents and the arrest of five others.
The resident said, “A clash broke out during their advancement. Afterwards, they entered the village, killed the locals, and some people were also taken into custody.”
According to residents and local humanitarian groups, the deceased have been identified as U Htay Aung (48), U Chit Tun (65), and Daw Khin Yi (65).
The raid followed a brief clash during the military’s advancement into the area. In the aftermath of the killings, troops detained four members of U Pho Kone’s family and Daw Kay Thi (40), the widow of the slain U Htay Aung.
By the evening, the military column set fire to parts of the village, though the full extent of the property damage remains unconfirmed.
Due to the military operations, residents of Phalan Pin and nearby villages, including Thayet Bagan Yoe, Ngoke To, Nyaung Wine, and Khway Thay, have been forced to flee their homes.
The troops involved are based in Dama Ngal village, where revolutionary forces frequently launch attacks on the local police station.
