The media spread such news to mislead the public regarding the security forces who were conducting security measures in Tuuyinboh, Kyaungphyukan villages and vicinity areas in Myingyan Township.
Security officials claimed that none of the residents were detained in Kyaungphyukan village, and there was also no fire in Tuuyinboh village.
In this regard, fake news was reportedly spread through malicious media, defaming the security forces. — MNA/KTZH
