Overview

  • Officials said 413 KK Park buildings were demolished by Dec. 13, but independent analysis found 31 fully flattened and dozens more only partially damaged and potentially reusable.
  • C4ADS satellite review shows 14 of 21 known scam compounds in Myawaddy Township expanded since January, despite earlier purges that released more than 7,000 workers.
  • About 1,500 KK Park workers exited into Thailand through official channels, according to the Thai military, while many others remain unaccounted for with reports of relocations to Cambodia, Mauritius and parts of Africa.
  • SpaceX said it disabled access to over 2,500 Starlink units in Myanmar, yet workers report active connections at Hengsheng Park 4 and Deko Park.
  • Authorities highlight raids at additional sites such as Shwe Kokko, but roughly 30 compounds operate along the border and trafficked people report continuing captivity.
