As Military Council camps are progressively taken over by resistance forces in Northern Shan State, junta soldiers in Ye-U township are purposefully bombarding villages with no active combatants.
On 1 November, at around 4 pm, soldiers from the Military Council based in Ye-U township, Sagaing region, indiscriminately fired artillery at villages.
The Myanmar junta forces are likely responding to the resistance for attacks under Operation 1027, which began on 27 October and have resulted in the seizure of dozens of junta military positions. 
Operation 1027 is led by the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), along with the Arakan Army (AA) and the Ta'ang National Liberation Army (TNLA).
Tragically, one of the shells hit Letyet Kone village, in the Eastern part of Debayin Township, Sagaing region, leading to the death of two women and causing severe injuries to two others. Among the victims, two were children, according to local sources. 

A Letyet Kone villager said, "The soldiers fired 120 mm mortar shells at the villages twice, and one of them hit the compound of a house in Letyet Kone village." 

He also said that the 42-year-old woman, Daw Seik, and another woman died on the spot, while a 13-year-old boy and another 14-year-old boy were also injured.

Villages in the southern, western, and northern parts of Ye-U township came under artillery attack by the Military Council. Locals have been informed that Junta soldiers are patrolling the vicinity of Ye-U township. 

“A column of roughly 100 soldiers is divided into two groups of approximately 50 troops each and is currently deployed in both Ye-U Township and Debayin Township," said a soldier from local defense force.

Due to the presence of these columns, it's been reported that over 10,000 residents from villages along the Ye U-Debayin highway, including Letyet Kone, Nyaung Hla, and Aung Chan Thar, have been forced to flee their homes.
