Unofficial and subversive media outlets have been creating and spreading rumours and fabricated news all round to create instability and unrest across the country; sowing discord between the Tatmadaw and the people, and using various ways to create a misleading impression of the Tatmadaw in the international arena. Under this context;
- “Khit thit”, an unofficial media outlet, spread false information on social media platforms that Tatmadaw personnel torched Htanpinhla village in Monywa Township and Natyaytwin Village in Paungde Township. It is just rumours. In reality, PDF terrorists looted the property from the villagers’ houses and burnt down the residential houses.
- “Ayeyarwaddy Time”, an unofficial media outlet, alleged that security personnel checked the trucks carrying medicine and related goods and asking for money in Kangyidaunt Township of Ayeyawady Region. It is just an allegation. In reality, the Tatmadaw personnel did not act like that.
PDF terrorists taking position in houses snipe at security personnel; launch bomb attacks on the latter; use locals as human shield; and make arson attacks on residential houses on their way of retreat. Unofficial and subversive media outlets are wilfully spreading such disinformation and fake news on social media platforms in order to cover up terrorists’ acts and create a misleading impression among local people and security personnel, it is reported.
