In Pulae, Southern Village, the military junta has reportedly killed two young girls aged 17 and 13, along with five other local civilians. Locals stated that on July 11, the military entered the village and committed acts of violence against the two girls, as well as two family members of other young girls. On July 12, the bodies were recovered, according to local residents and defense forces.
According to a local defense official, after the military left, five bodies were found in the village, including that of 17-year-old Ma Moeyei and her mother. Additionally, the bodies of U Tin Maung, 45, and his 13-year-old daughter were also found, along with another woman’s body, bringing the total to five.

The victims are currently being examined by local defense groups and CDM doctors.
