The junta troops entered the central Myanmar village of Kone Ywar on Tuesday evening and set it on fire. The destruction in Kone Ywar - a settlement populated by more than 1,400 people in Sagaing region’s embattled Yinmarbin township - is becoming all too commonplace in Myanmar, where more than two years after a coup, the military has embarked on a scorched earth campaign to root out the country’s armed resistance. However, while civilians are regularly caught up in the conflict, despite claims by the junta that it does not target noncombatants, it is rare for the military to wipe out nearly an entire village.
