At the same time, the Myanmar Army has been constantly sending major reinforcement to carry out a series of military operations, taking the combating and prevention of the spread of Coronavirus as an opportunity. On 22 August 2020, without any fighting in that area the Myanmar Army deliberately fired artillery shells with racial hatred and prejudice into Kyauk-Yan-Thar-Si village in Rathedaung Township where they declared the "Clearance Operations" would be conducted, between 8:10 pm and 8:30 pm. The troops of Myanmar Army stationed at Ma Nyin Taung village had launched that attack. As a result, a child and four innocent civilians were injured.
