From 30 October, border forces allied to Myanmar’s military intensified their reported bombardment of the KK scam compound on the Thai–Myanmar border to twice daily, aiming to destroy all buildings in a complex long regarded as a haven for scammers.
According to the report, thousands of foreigners had fled to Thailand in recent days out of fear of bombardment and death. Indians were the largest reported group, with 492 people, followed by 220 Filipinos and 201 Chinese nationals, as well as hundreds of people of other nationalities.
The report said Myanmar’s military had launched an offensive against scam compounds in the Myawaddy area from the beginning of the month, taking control of more than 200 buildings and detaining more than 2,000 people. It had recently intensified attacks in the area in an effort to eliminate scam operations.
