Burmese media reported that according to the people of Muse in northern Shan State, an armed conflict broke out today (September 23) inside the Mingalar Muse Hospital in Muse City.
It is reported that on the morning of September 23, near a 9-story building and 40 acres of land inside Mingalar Muse Hospital, which serves as a security hub for online scam operations, armed conflict erupted between local militias providing security and military police carrying out anti-scam operations.
The people of Muse said that just before noon, they continuously heard gunshots, indicating that the local militia and the military police targeting scams had clashed. The specific details are unclear, and it is unknown which militia was involved.
It is said that starting the evening of September 22, military police in Muse City began arresting those involved in the scam operations. The arrests continued on September 23, leading to the conflict.
Additionally, starting at 6 a.m. on September 23, the Bhamo Bridge in Muse City was blocked, only allowing entry into Muse and not permitting exit. Around 10 a.m., both entry and exit were prohibited, but later information was released that both were allowed, provided that an ID card was presented.
More information is pending further investigation and verification. The people of Muse reported that gunshots were still heard until after 2 p.m.
According to submissions from informed netizens: Last night in Muse, Myanmar, many involved in telecom fraud were arrested, regardless of nationality. Everyone in the area was detained, and those from China were deported back to China, but only after all money on their phones and valuable possessions were confiscated. Myanmar nationals had to pay 4000 RMB for their release.
