Terrorists carried out inhumane acts using explosive devices by capitalizing on unguarded moments of security personnel

     In order to cause injuries to both peaceable civilians and administrative authorities who are striving to restore the rule of law, extreme terrorists provide financial assistance and instigate destructive activities, such as detonating explosive devices and remote blasting, against public roads, railways, government offices and houses.

     Since they are conducting such terrorist acts, on 2 May 2024, at 11:20 AM, U Ye Ko Htway (34 years old) who lives in Kanni Village, Myaing Township, Magway Region, was heading to his field near the village. As he approached a location approximately 800 meters southeast of the village, he stepped on an explosive device planted by a so-called PDF terrorist group, causing it to detonate. The explosion resulted in U Ye Ko Htway sustaining shrapnel injuries. Currently, he is receiving medical treatment at the village clinic, it is reported.

     Similarly, at 2:00 PM, Daw Ma Pu (38 years old) and her daughter, Ma Saung Thazin (12 years old) who both live in Chaung Hmon Village, Boke Pyin Township, Tanintharyi Region, were picking vegetables near an orchard located approximately two miles east of the village when an explosive device, planted by a so-called PDF terrorist group, detonated. The explosion resulted in shrapnel injuries to Ma Saung Thazin who was then transported to the Pyi Gyi Man Daing Circuit Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.

     It has been reported that the security personnel are investigating the culprits of the acts of terrorism from the above incidents in order to be able to take effective action in accordance with the law.
