According to local reports, flooding has occurred in Tachileik, located in eastern Shan State, as a result of the rising water level of the Mae Sai Creek.
The creek began to overflow around 11:00 p.m. on July 27, causing flooding in several wards of the city, including Pone Htun, San Saing, Tar Law, Lwel Taw Khan, and Mae Khaung.
Approximately 1,000 residents have been relocated to safer areas to escape the floodwaters. Charitable organizations and the Fire Services Department have established two rescue camps and are using motorboats to evacuate affected residents to safety. Additionally, charity groups are reportedly providing meals and basic necessities to those in need.
On the morning of July 28, in San Saing Ward of Tachileik, a military vehicle from the junta was reportedly speeding along Bo Gyoke Road, creating large waves that entered roadside shops. This resulted in damage to goods and destruction of shop entrances, according to local sources.
Similarly, in Kalaw Township in southern Shan State, the rising water level of Kalaw Creek has led to flooding of homes in Wards 4 and 2, with water flowing rapidly into the lower parts of the town.
In Pinlaung Township, villages such as Kone Saung and Thein Kone have been affected by overflow from a mountain reservoir, submerging nearly 70 homes. At least six people have reportedly lost their lives.
Flooding and overflow incidents have also been reported in Namkham, Laukkai, Mong Pawk, Panhsang, and Yawnghwe (Nyaung Shwe) townships. Damage to residential properties and an increase in fatalities have been observed across these areas.
