Misinformation spreads about security forces’ airstrike in Kani

Subversive news media have falsely reported that security forces conducted an airstrike on 17 February at the Chindwin River ferry port in Muhtaw, east of Kani Township, Sagaing Region, causing casualties and destruction. The misinformation claims that the attack resulted in injuries to a monk and two residents while also damaging vehicles and motorcycles.

Upon verification with officials and residents, the reports were entirely false. Security forces did not target civilian areas where residents live and travel.

Meanwhile, terrorists continue to carry out acts of destruction, including planting explosives on roads and bridges, attacking vital infrastructure such as power stations and electricity pylons and setting off bombs in crowded public areas. They have also used drones to drop explosives. Malicious media outlets are spreading false information to conceal the terrorist activities and mislead the public about security forces’ actions.
