"They also burnt some houses" said an eyewitness. All houses in the village have been ordered to be destroyed.
The Southeast Command is conducting the military operation in Mon State . An army officer responded to IMNA over telephone by saying "we don't know about this."
"The villagers are moving to other bigger places in Khaw-zar, Sub Township . Some also moved to Hang-gan, said a villager in a neighbouring village.
The village is located in southeast Hang-gan village, isolated from the other villages.
In 2004, during the Military Southeast Command's tactical command military operation, the army relocated two small villages in the area.
