Local sources report that three residents from Kaing Gyi village, located just 11 miles from Okpho Township in Bago Region, were attacked upon entering their village under the assumption that the terrorist military column had already left.

On May 26, the terrorist military column opened fire on Ko Pho Zaw, U Aye Gyi, and Ko Kyi Hlaing as they returned to Kaing Gyi village. Ko Aye Gyi and Ko Pho Zaw died on the spot.

A local source informed that Ko Kyi Hlaing managed to escape by pretending to be dead among the casualties. Furthermore, the terrorist military took away nearly 3.5 million kyats from U Pho Zaw.

Currently, the terrorist military is planning to spread misinformation claiming that members of the People's Defense Force were the ones who killed the victims, according to a local source.
