Monk Injured After Stepping Explosive Device Planted by So-Called PDF Terrorist Group in Salin Township of Sagaing Region

     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 28 June 2025 at 9:30 AM, a report stated that a monk with shrapnel injuries was admitted to the Salin Township Public Hospital of Magway Region. When security personnel arrived at the hospital for further investigation, the victim was identified as a monk named Ku Mar Ra (aka) U Kyaw Yin (42 years old) with three years as monkhood, from Kyaik Htee Yoe Taw Ya Monastery in Htoo Pauk Village in Salin Township. The incident occurred when the monk had stepped on an explosive device planted near the monastery by a so-called PDF terrorist group. The device exploded, causing him to sustain shrapnel injuries. 

     The security personnel are investigating the culprits of the acts of terrorism from the above incident to take effective action in accordance with the law.
