The SAC soldiers are firing their weapons from Nyaung Wine village into where people are living, and the residents are now packing so that they can flee from the area whenever needed.

“Some are now preparing to flee. No one is leaving from the area yet for now. The bullets are coming from everywhere. People Defense Force (PDF) is trying its best to inform the locals to relocate to a safe place,” the above resident added.
