Refuting Disinformation: Clarifying recent social media claims

Disinformation on social media has alleged that the Tatmadaw raided Nyin Maw Village in Laung Lone Township of Taninthayi Region, seizing over 50 million kyats worth of public properties forcefully.

These claims, circulated by Khit Thit Media, one of the outlets known for spreading false information, have been refuted by an official from the local security force. The official stated that Tatmadaw did not carry out any security measures in Nyin Maw Village and nearby areas on December 13th.

Similarly, there are circulating rumors on social media alleging that Ward and Village Administrators in Hinthada Township of Ayeyawady Region are compelled to attend military training at the local battalion starting December 6th.

The claims further suggest that these administrators are not allowed to resign, fearing deployment to the front lines. Both Tatmadaw sources and local administrators have refuted these allegations, labeling them as fake and false information.
