The Tatmadaw news information team has clarified that recent reports of a coup d'état in Nay Pyi Taw are unfounded and false. 

On August 13, rumors of such an event circulated widely on social media throughout the day and late into the night, causing public concern and prompting many to question the veracity of the claims. In response, the Trend News Journal asked the SAC News Information Team for clarification.

The Tatmadaw's official statement emphasized that these reports are merely rumors intended to create disruption and unrest. The misinformation appears to have originated from a Facebook account belonging to someone identified as Captain Seagull, with the rumors first emerging around 8:30 pm on August 12.

Additionally, certain media outlets have been involved in spreading these false claims, further exacerbating public anxiety.

The News Information Team assured that the Head of State and government officials continue to perform their duties as usual, maintaining the nation's peace and stability amidst the ongoing attempts to incite panic.
