Junta Forces Destroy Over 300 Homes in Doo Pla Ya District
Doo Pla Ya District, Karen State, Burma
22 July 2024
Town partially destroyed by Burma military strikes.
Heavy fighting occurred in Doo Pla Ya District, Karen State, Burma, between resistance forces and the Burma military over the last three months. During the fall of Myawaddy to resistance forces, and the intense effort by the junta to retake it, the Burma Army expended large amounts of airdropped munitions to drive back resistance forces, with small tactical effect. Ranger teams in Doo Pla Ya District witnessed 759 airdropped munitions consisting of 500lb and 300lb bombs, 60mm and 81mm mortars used as bombs. The Rangers in the vicinity of one of the bombs required oxygen after breathing in the fumes from the smoke the bomb created. These aerial attacks far too often target civilian infrastructure and the fleeing civilians themselves. Rangers witnessed one Buddhist monastery, three local schools, and over 300 homes in Doo Pla Ya District destroyed by junta air attacks.
In response, Ranger teams provided regular support to hundreds of Internally Displaced People (IDP) fleeing the fighting. They conducted Good Life Clubs, provided food, emergency funds, and treated the injured and sick. The brutal power of the Burma Army at work in Doo Pla Ya District is great but even the small amount of help and love the Rangers can provide does much to spark hope amidst some of the heaviest fighting in Burma this spring.
