Authorities have continued dismantling illegal buildings used for online fraud and illegal gambling activities in Shwe Kokko, according to official reports.

The government said joint departmental teams are carrying out clearance operations in the Shwe Kokko and KK Park areas to prevent illegal structures from continuing to be used for online scam activities. Equipment used in such operations has also been systematically destroyed, while illegal buildings are being completely demolished.

During the latest operation, three three-storey residential buildings used for online scam activities were demolished using heavy machinery. The structures were among 77 buildings identified for removal, including 57 to be demolished with machinery and 20 to be destroyed using explosives.

Officials confirmed that a total of 39 buildings have been demolished so far. The remaining 38 illegal structures will be dismantled in subsequent phases.

Authorities also stated that efforts to combat online scam networks are being undertaken as a national responsibility, in cooperation with neighbouring countries and international partners, to prevent such activities from re-establishing themselves in Myanmar.
