Myanmar junta troops on Friday torched more than 370 in Inn Sa, a village 20 miles northwest of Sagaing city. About 100 soldiers took part in the raid, which forced more than 1,500 residents to flee.
Opposition forces in northern Sagaing region have put up some of the fiercest resistance to junta rule since Myanmar’s February 2021 coup d’etat and the military has responded with a heavy handed offensive.
According to the independent research group Data For Myanmar, since the military coup, nearly 48,000 houses in Sagaing region had been burned down as of mid-March. At least 500,000 people have fled conflict in Sagaing since the takeover.
