In the town of Mohnyin, located in Kachin State, local residents report that the Shan militia has increased security measures and is currently positioned near a pagoda while engaging in military operations.
“On January 23rd, at approximately 2 PM, a survey was conducted of the residences surrounding Kantharyar pond. Approximately 60 individuals were present, comprising the strategist, the general, the commander of the artillery battalion, the ward administrator, members of the Shanni militia, police officers, and soldiers. It appeared that they were making preparations for a military operation,” remarked a young resident.
Furthermore, it has come to light that a census of the residences in Moeda Su Ward, AshaeSu (1) and (3) was conducted to strategize the establishment of a hiding location. It was also noted that individuals were seeking refuge in areas close to Kantharyar, near the Layaung Daw Mu Pagoda. Approximately sixty individuals associated with the SAC joint forces were reported to have occupied these hiding spots.
Residents have reported that the Shanni Militia and the SAC joint forces have been engaged in extensive military operations in Mohnyin since January of last year. These activities include the establishment of military posts, conducting population censuses, patrolling the city, and carrying out military interrogations.
The Shanni militia, operating under the SAC, has been discharging firearms and using profane language in the streets after 7 p.m. This behavior has instilled fear among some local residents in the vicinity where the Shanni militia is frequently present, prompting them to consider evacuation.
