State media said Myanmar’s military shut down a major cyber-scam hub near the Thai border, raiding the KK Park compound outside Myawaddy and detaining 2,198 people. The operation, part of a campaign begun in early September, seized 30 Starlink terminals and found more than 260 unregistered buildings. The army alleged Karen National Union leaders were tied to the schemes, a claim the group denies. Photos of the raid lacked clear timing. The crackdown comes amid heightened scrutiny of regional scams and follows earlier efforts that freed trafficked workers from compounds.
