Thousands Flee as Myanmar Junta Carries Out Bago Yoma Offensive

By June 5, the advancing junta forces—who had killed at least five civilians in Bago's Okpho Township—triggered mass displacement. According to ground reports and local defense forces providing medical care, approximately 3,000 villagers were forced to abandon their homes in early June.
