After the township education officer was shot, a 40-strong military column entered Thabyar Kyae and Pyinsathi Maw villages, and on November 23, the residents said that they stormed Chaungtaw Wa village.
According to reports, the military council also confiscated phones, gold, cash, and jewelry from two homes in the Chaungtaw Wa hamlet.
