Troops used the church as a camp during the fight. On the 15th, 2022, a Catholic church was set on fire, including a clergy house and a parish hall. One priest said, “It is intentionally touched because the fire began when the troops left the church. I am very frustrated.” One parish priest near Dawe Khu parish explained, “I am not sure even my parish is affected as well cause no one dares to make the close observation. Nevertheless, I am sure that parishioners are affected mentally and physically.” Another priest expressed bravely, “This is the act of atrocity. no sense of humanity!”
