Myanmar villagers accuse junta troops of burning spree


Sagaing (Myanmar) (AFP) – Drone footage obtained by AFP show columns of smoke rising into the sky from villages, set along a roughly eight-kilometre stretch of the Chindwin river in Myanmar’s Sagaing region. According to local media and residents, the country’s junta troops have torched hundreds of buildings in a three-day raid in the country’s north. “My life is ruined. I have lost my home and have nothing left to do for a living,” says one resident from Ke Taung Village.
