At the time of reporting, they were still unburied, an eyewitness told media
Further details about the men or how they died is not yet known.
Two more men were found dead within the village itself, with gunshot sounds to the head: 40-year-old Zaw Min Lay and 30-year-old Hein Zar, according to the eyewitness.
