    내용 경고: 이 보고서에는 인간 유해의 그래픽 이미지가 포함되어 있습니다.

    10세 소녀의 시신을 포함하여 18명의 시신이 미얀마 중심부의 한 마을에서 3일 간의 군 점령 후 발견되었다고 현지 주민과 지역에서 활동하는 저항 단체 회원에 따르면, 이번 주에 발견되었습니다.

    다른 2명의 85세 여성은 습격 기간 동안 마을에 숨어 있던 중 굶주림으로 사망한 것으로 추정됩니다.




    미얀마 나우와의 인터뷰에서 67세 남성도 군부의 공격을 피해 달아나던 중 호흡기 문제로 사망했다고 현지 남성이 전했다.

    다수의 시신이 발견될 당시에는 이동이 불가능할 정도로 분해돼 현장에서 화장해야 했다.

    남성은 “8월 11일 이후로 사망한 것이 틀림없어 시신을 수거할 수 없었다”고 회상했다. “소, 개, 말까지도 포병에 맞았습니다. 온 마을이 무너졌다.”

    그는 “마을은 묘지처럼 느껴졌고 썩은 고기 냄새가 사방에 퍼졌다”고 말했다.

    인구가 거의 3,000명에 달하는 Yin Paung Taing은 Yinmabin 마을에서 남쪽으로 10마일 떨어져 있습니다. 마을에 공습을 가한 3대의 전투기는 친드윈 강을 가로질러 Yin Paung Taing에서 동쪽으로 약 35마일 떨어진 Monywa에서 온 것으로, 군부의 북서부 군사 사령부가 위치해 있습니다.

    폭행 당일 마을에서 시장 박람회가 열리고 있어 군중을 끌어모았고, 그곳에 있던 사람들은 공습을 즉시 피하는 것이 어려웠다고 한 남성은 안전하게 대피했다고 전했다.

    “헬리콥터 1대가 마을 입구에 병사들을 내려주고 나머지 2대가 마을을 맴돌며 좌우에서 무자비하게 포격을 가했습니다. 몇몇 사람들은 탈출했습니다. 일부는 그렇지 않았다”고 말했다.

    이 남성은 8월 11일 오후 휴식을 위해 인근 친(Chin) 주에서 온 저항군 약 80여 명이 마을에 정박한 직후 군용기가 등장했다고 회상했다. 그는 미얀마군이 유격대의 움직임에 대한 정보를 입수했으며, 공격의 대상은 멤버였을 가능성이 큽니다.

    그는 “비행기가 그 그룹의 멤버들이 점심을 먹던 곳을 맴돌다가 그 일대에 발포했는데, 누군가 군대에 그들이 올 것이라고 알려주었을 것”이라고 설명했다.

    그는 미얀마 나우에 목요일 오후 그의 아내, 십대 딸, 어린 아들과 함께 공습을 간신히 피했다고 말했다. 그는 한 팔에 어린아이를 안고 다른 한 팔로 아내의 손을 잡고 비행기가 들어오는 소리를 듣고 달려가는 방법을 설명했습니다.

    그는 “아들이 총에 맞지 않도록 꼭 안고 몸을 감싸줬다”며 “가족들에게는 소지품을 챙길 시간이 없었다.

    그는 아들과 아내를 마을 밖에 있는 나무 아래에 두고 돌아와 딸을 찾아 안전한 곳으로 데려갔습니다.

    습격 기간 동안 Yin Paung Taing에 갇힌 채 남아 있던 사람들은 병자와 노인을 포함하여 지역 사회에서 가장 취약한 주민들이었고, 이들 중 다수는 포위 공격에서 부상을 입고 군대에 인질로 잡혔습니다.

    Yinmabin에 기반을 둔 Young Ranger Force의 일원인 Bala는 자신을 포함하여 최소 10개 지역 저항 단체의 전사들이 가능한 한 많은 민간인을 구출하려고 시도했지만 부상자의 수에 압도되었다고 말했습니다.

    "일부 사람들은 제트기에서 떨어진 포탄에 의해 부서진 벽과 창문의 파편에 맞았습니다."라고 그는 설명했습니다. “어떤 사람은 다리가 부러졌고 어떤 사람은 머리를 조개껍데기로 맞았습니다. 우리는 그들 중 일부를 구할 수 있었지만 필사적으로 일부를 남겨 두어야했습니다.”

    그는 저항 연합의 구성원들이 Yin Paung Taing으로 공수된 junta 군대가 초소를 세우고 주변 지역으로 포병을 발사하기 전에 Chin 전투기를 안전한 곳으로 안내했다고 말했습니다.

    다음날인 8월 12일, 지방 방위군이 점령군을 공격했고, 공습으로 대응했다. 레지스탕스 전투기는 지역 상공을 맴도는 군정 항공기에  포격 을 가했습니다.

    현지 방위군에 따르면 약 70명의 친군 민병대원을 동반한 군대가 서쪽으로 향하자 전투기가 군부대의 철수에 대비해 해당 지역을 "청소"하기 위해 경로에 있는 마을에 발포했다. 보도에 따르면 수백 명의 주민들이 군부가 이동하는 길을 따라 위치한 푸토에 타르와 몬 트윈 지역 사회에서 도망친 것으로 알려졌다.

    화요일이 되자 이 부대는 Yin Paung Taing에서 10마일도 채 안되는 거리에 있는 Pale Township에 위치한 Chin Pyit 마을에 도착했습니다. 현지인에 따르면 그곳에서 그들은 여러 가정에 불을 질렀습니다.

    보고 당시 Yin Paung Taing의 인질들이 아직 살아 있는지는 알려지지 않았다.

    실향민들은 월요일에 대부분 Yin Paung Taing으로 돌아갔고, 마을의 파괴가 광범위하고 불교 공동체 회관에 심각한 피해가 포함되어 있다고 지적했습니다.

    오토바이 15대와 트럭 1대, 차량 수리 차고 2곳도 파괴됐다.

    Yin Paung Taing은 작년 9월에 처음으로 습격당해 민간인 1명이 사망하고 7명이 구타와 고문을 당했다고 미얀마 나우에 대한 가장 최근의 공격을 설명하는 40세 주민이 말했습니다.

    군대는 Ayadaw, Depayin, Myinmu 및 Ye-U 마을을 포함하여 여러 Sagaing 지역 저항 거점에 대해 빈번한 공중 공격을 수행했습니다.

    Young Ranger Force의 Bala는 저항군이 종종 미얀마 군대의 지상 공격을 막아낼 수 있었지만 공군력에 직면했을 때 계속해서 어려움을 겪고 있다고 설명했습니다.

    그는 “우리는 지상에서 그들을 마주하는 것을 두려워하지 않지만 그들이 공습을 가할 때 우리는 여전히 도피해야 한다”고 말했다. “비행기가 우리를 쏘는 동안 너무 낮게 날았습니다. 적어도 대공 무기가 있다면 반격할 수 있습니다.”

    In one of the most violent and prolonged assaults by the junta’s forces in recent days, regime troops besieged the village of Yin Paung Taing in southern Sagaing Region’s Yinmabin Township on Thursday afternoon. The attack started with the launch of airstrikes from three Mi-35 fighter jets and continued as some 60 soldiers were dropped from three helicopters to carry out a ground offensive, stationing themselves in a village monastery until Sunday morning, residents told Myanmar Now.

    Locals and resistance fighters who returned to Yin Paung Taing after the troops had left initially found the bodies of 12 slain civilians, all of whom they were able to identify. As the search for casualties continued on Monday, six more people were found dead, and at the time of reporting, their identities were not confirmed.

    Nine of the first 12 bodies had wounds that appeared to have been caused by light and heavy weaponry, according to a 40-year-old man who was involved in the search for his neighbours.

    Among the victims were two children: 10-year-old Khine Khine Win and 17-year-old Thaw Bhone Naing. There were also five men between the ages of 24 and 73, and two women, aged 45 and 52. Six of the 18 people who were killed—including Khine Khine Win—had suffered burns.

    Two other elderly women, both aged 85, are believed to have died of starvation as they hid in the village during the raid.



    A 67-year-old man also died from respiratory issues while fleeing the junta attack, the local man who spoke to Myanmar Now said.

    By the time that many of the bodies were found, they had decomposed to the point where they could not be moved and had to be cremated on-site.

    “They must have been dead since August 11, so it was impossible to pick up their bodies,” the man recalled. “Even cows, dogs and horses were shot by artillery. The whole village was torn down.”

    “The village felt like a cemetery and the smell of rotten flesh was everywhere,” he said.

    Yin Paung Taing, which has a population of nearly 3,000, is located 10 miles south of the town of Yinmabin. The three fighter jets which launched the airstrikes on the village came from Monywa, a city around 35 miles east of Yin Paung Taing across the Chindwin River, and where the junta’s Northwestern Military Command is located.

    On the day of the assault, a market fair had been taking place in the village, drawing crowds and making it difficult for those present to immediately flee the air attacks, according to one man who managed to flee to safety.

    “One helicopter dropped off soldiers at the entrance of the village and the other two hovered around the village and relentlessly fired from the left and the right. Some people escaped. Some didn’t,” he said.

    The man recalled that the military aircraft appeared soon after around 80 resistance fighters travelling from neighbouring Chin State had stopped at the village to rest on the afternoon of August 11. He speculated that the Myanmar army had received intel regarding the guerrilla force’s movements and that its members had likely been the target of the attack.

    “The jets hovered around the place where members of that group were having lunch and they opened fire on that area, so I think someone must have informed the military that they would be here,” he explained.

    He told Myanmar Now that he narrowly escaped the air assault on Thursday afternoon with his wife, teenage daughter and young son. He described how he carried the boy—a toddler—in one arm and held his wife’s hand with the other as they ran upon hearing the sound of incoming jets.

    “I held up my son tightly and covered him with my body so that he would not get shot,” he said, adding that the family had no time to gather any belongings.

    He left his son and wife under a tree outside the village and returned to locate his daughter and bring her to safety.

    Those who remained trapped in Yin Paung Taing during the raid were among the community’s most vulnerable residents, including the sick and elderly, many of whom were injured in the siege and held hostage by the military.

    Bala, a member of the Yinmabin-based Young Ranger Force, said that fighters from at least 10 local resistance groups—including his—tried to rescue as many civilians as possible, but were overwhelmed by the number of wounded.

    “Some of the people were hit by the fragments of walls and windows that had been blasted apart by the shells dropped from the jets,” he explained. “Some had their legs broken and some were even hit right in the head with the shells. We were able to rescue some of them but we had to leave some behind out of desperation.”

    He said that the members of the resistance coalition managed to guide the Chin fighters to safety before the junta troops airlifted into Yin Paung Taing had set up posts and began firing artillery into the surrounding area.

    On the following day, August 12, the local defence forces attacked the occupying military column, which responded with airstrikes. Resistance fighters turned their fire to the junta aircrafts hovering over the area.


    When the Myanmar army soldiers left Yin Paung Taing at around 6am on Sunday, they released the women and elderly residents who they had held captive, but took 24 men with them as hostages.

    As the troops—accompanied by some 70 pro-junta militia members—headed west, a fighter jet fired at villages in their path to “clear” the area in preparation for the military column’s departure, according to members of local defence forces. Hundreds of residents reportedly fled from the communities of Pu Htoe Thar and Mon Thwin, both located along the road travelled by the junta forces.

    By Tuesday, the column had arrived in the village of Chin Pyit, less than 10 miles from Yin Paung Taing and located in neighbouring Pale Township. There they torched multiple homes, according to locals.

    At the time of reporting, it was not known if the hostages from Yin Paung Taing were still alive.

    Displaced residents largely returned to Yin Paung Taing on Monday, noting that the destruction of the village was extensive, and included severe damage to the Buddhist community hall.

    At least 15 motorcycles and one truck, as well as two vehicle repair garages, were also destroyed.

    Yin Paung Taing was first raided in September of last year in an attack that left one civilian dead and seven beaten and tortured, according to the 40-year-old resident who recounted the most recent assault to Myanmar Now.

    The military has carried out frequent aerial attacks on multiple Sagaing Region resistance strongholds, including the townships of Ayadaw, Depayin, Myinmu and Ye-U.

    Bala, from the Young Ranger Force, explained that although resistance groups have often been able to fend off ground offensives by the Myanmar army, they continue to struggle when confronted with air power.

    “We are not afraid to face them on the ground but we still have to flee when they launch airstrikes,” he said. “The jets flew so low while shooting at us. At least if we had anti-aircraft weapons we could fire back.”

    Political prisoner handed three-year sentence for hunger strike
    Naung Htet Aung and other inmates who took part in the protest at Mandalay’s Obo Prison were also severely beaten, sources said

    A student leader imprisoned last year for taking part in anti-coup protests has been handed an additional three years behind bars for staging a hunger strike, according to activist sources.

    Naung Htet Aung, 26, who was arrested in Mandalay last November and later found guilty of incitement, received the sentence without trial on Wednesday, said a spokesperson for the All Burma Federation of Student Unions (ABFSU).

    A day before the new sentence was handed down, Naung Htet Aung was brutally beaten and placed in solitary confinement, the ABFSU spokesperson told Myanmar Now.

    “They beat him up and fired slingshots at him. We were told they also used tasers. According to our latest intel, he and 15 other political prisoners are still in solitary,” he said.

    According to the spokesperson, Naung Htet Aung and the other hunger strikers sustained serious injuries in the crackdown.

    “Three of his front teeth were knocked out and he also has wounds on his back. Some were even crippled by their injuries,” he said.

    Political prisoners at Mandalay’s Obo Prison began their hunger strike on August 1 to protest the execution of prominent regime opponents Phyo Zayar Thaw and Ko Jimmy, also known as Kyaw Min Yu, and two other prisoners in late July.

    Naung Htet Aung is the former chair of the Yangon Education University Student Union. He was one of eight people arrested during a raid on a safehouse in Mandalay’s Chanayethazan Township last November.

    The ABFSU also expressed grave concern about other student leaders who were taken into regime custody last year.

    The group said that Aye Nandar Soe, the chair of the Sagaing Education University Students Union, disappeared last September after being arrested at a military checkpoint on a bridge linking Sagaing and Mandalay regions.

    She was reportedly taken to an army compound where troops from Light Infantry Division 33 were stationed and has not been heard from since, according to the ABFSU.

    Lin Paing Soe, a student union member who attended Kyaukse Technological University in Mandalay’s Kyaukse Township, also went missing at around the same time and is feared dead.

    More than 40 student union members are still being detained in prisons all over the country, the ABFSU said.

    KNU says more than 150,000 displaced in its territory
    Figures released by the group suggest that Myanmar’s post-coup humanitarian crisis is rapidly escalating

    Recent military operations in Mon State and Bago Region have displaced more than 150,000 people, according to a statement released by the Karen National Union (KNU) on Sunday.

    Heavy shelling by regime forces in Mon State’s Thaton District and Bago Region’s Nyaunglebin Township, which are under the control of KNU brigades 1 and 3, respectively, has forced a total of 154,866 civilians in these areas to flee their homes, the statement claimed.

    If correct, these numbers represent a dramatic escalation of the humanitarian crisis in eastern Myanmar and other parts of the country that have seen strong resistance to last year’s coup.

    According to figures released by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on July 31, the military takeover and its aftermath have produced more than 866,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) nationwide.

    Combined with the number of people displaced by pre-coup conflicts, this brings the current number of IDPs in the country to more than 1.2m, according to OCHA’s estimates.

    In its statement, the KNU said that there were also large numbers of IDPs in its territory in Karen (Kayin) State, especially in Mutraw (Hpapun) District and Myawaddy Township.

    However, exact figures were not available, it added.

    According to the Karen Human Rights Group (KHRG), the military has also been obstructing efforts to assist IDPs by preventing groups and individuals from transporting supplies to people in need.

    “It’s a huge human rights violation to prevent civilians from receiving humanitarian aid. So many of the IDPs’ basic rights are being violated and they have no security at all,” said KHRG spokesperson Saw Nandar Htoo.

    Local humanitarian aid organisations say that basic necessities such as food and shelter are in short supply.

    It was unclear how many civilian casualties there have been from the junta’s indiscriminate shelling, but last Wednesday, there was one confirmed death in Htoe Wah Sike, a village in Nyaunglebin Township.

    The victim, a 52-year-old woman named San Oo, suffered multiple injuries after a shell landed on her home, sources said. She died at the hospital later the same day.

    The regime has also carried out numerous airstrikes against the KNU and its allies in the area, resulting in civilian deaths and mass displacement, local sources have reported.

    An alliance of ethnic Chin guerrilla groups ambushed a Myanmar army base between Hakha and Thantlang townships last week, claiming to have killed 10 junta soldiers.

    Members of the Chinland Joint Defence Committee (CJDC) launched the attack on the site near the Themis stream on August 11, the coalition’s general secretary, Salai Timmy, said.

    Myanmar Now is unable to independently confirm further details about the assault.

    Salai Timmy added that an 80-soldier junta column from the base in question had been attacking villages around Hakha, the Chin State capital, including Mee Chaung and Sa Mee Chaung, as well as in Matupi Township.

    Villagers from Saung Wa, a community located next to Sa Mee Chaung, had also been subjected to interrogations by the troops, a local source said.

    He told Myanmar Now that he believed the junta was trying to establish a permanent presence in the area.

    “I think they’re trying to seize control of the area in order to help the military council operate their government mechanism in the area,” he said, adding, “They’re sending more reinforcements so that the Chin defence forces can’t operate in the area.”

    Some 220 battles have taken place between the CJDC’s forces and those of the junta since February, the coalition said in an August 11 statement.

    Of those clashes, more than half were in Hakha, Falam and Mindat townships.

    The military council has not released information regarding the fighting in Chin State, where it has also been widely accused of torching homes.

    In Thantlang alone, the township’s Placement Affairs Committee stated in late June that more than 1,300 houses had been destroyed by the Myanmar army in some 28 arson attacks since the February 2021 coup.

    Ongoing battles, combined with the transportation difficulties regularly faced by Chin State locals during the rainy season, have made food and commodities scarce, residents have said.
