Eight Prisoners Injured in Heavy Weapon Attack on Bhamo Prison by KIA Armed Insurgents and So-Called PDF Terrorists in Bhamo Township of Kachin State

     Terrorists committing inhumane acts have been engaging in battles, firing heavy weapons and improvised rockets and dropping bombs using drones into the residential areas, including towns, wards and villages.

       The incident occurred, on 26 June 2025 at 5:00 PM, when a group comprising KIA armed insurgents and so-called PDF terrorists fired heavy weapon into the Bhamo Prison, located in Naung Kho Ward, Bhamo Township of Kachin State. The shell exploded on the No.1 prisoner building in the prison compound. As a result, eight prisoners sustained shrapnel and are currently receiving medical treatment from the prison doctor, it is reported.

       Due to the heinous acts of armed terrorists such as firing of heavy and small weapons and dropping bombs using drones within wards and villages and planting mines in public areas, innocent civilians have been killed or injured. Consequently, local residents are protesting vehemently against these acts of terrorism, completely refusing to accept them. Security personnel are intensifying necessary security measures in collaboration with the local residents, it is reported.
