Myanmar Witness

There were multiple reports of villages and towns being set on fire in Myanmar during September 2021.

However, some of the videos that were going viral were from different countries or different moments in time altogether.

The village of Kinma (Pauk township, Magway region) was heavily damaged by fires following clashes between SAC forces and local fighters. Photos circulated on social media have been geolocated by Myanmar Witness to the village, and correspond with the location of the heat signature of the fire picked up by NASA. There are reports of 2, and potentially 4 casualties.
