Myanmar: Violence escalates in Yaw region of northwestern Myanmar

NAYPYITAW, 16 September 2021, (TON): Clashes between the Myanmar army and local resistance forces have been intensifying in the Yaw area of Magway Region since the National Unity Government (NUG) declared war on the coup regime.

A spokesperson for the Yaw People’s Defence Force (YDF) told media at least 70 junta troops have been killed since the September 7 announcement, but that his forces had endured no casualties, only injuries.

Fifteen soldiers are said to have died on September 9 and 10 alone in Gangaw, one of three townships that comprises the Yaw region; the other two townships are Htilin and Saw. The area borders Sagaing Region and Chin State.

“You could say that there are battles in every corner of the Yaw region. The situation has been tense,” the spokesperson said.

In order to crush armed resistance and local support for the PDF groups, the junta has been systematically burning down residents’ homes in the area, according to the YDF.
