Dozens of areas of damage in the town of Oakka, Myanmar, as of 2 May 2013 using additional structures are likewise probably burned but cloud cover, imagery collected by the WorldView-1 satellite. UNOSAT reviewed the high incidence angle of image collection, and presence of vegetation town for indicators of damage and destruction resulting from violence renders their status uncertain.. In addition, one possible IDP area was reportedly occurring on and around 30 April Results indicate identified in the satellite imagery. The locations of these features are several areas of destruction where multiple structures were apparently detailed in Map 1. Multiple areas of the image were obscured by clouds burned (see Figures 1 and 2). A total of 44 structures were definitively and were thus not analyzed.

Remains of destroyed structures (red points) include obvious indications of fire including ash and scorching. Note that additional structures are likely burned as well though the high incidence angle of image collection and presence of vegetation make verification impossible.
