In States and Regions, insurgent groups supporting terrorism and so-called PDF terrorist groups have been carrying out terrorist acts against non-military targets. These acts include detonating public roads and bridges, dropping bombs, firing heavy arms, using improvised mortars, and setting fire to residential houses in areas where innocent civilians reside, such as wards and villages.
Since they are conducting such terrorist acts, on 31 January at 2:40 PM, an improvised mortar shell, fired by so-called PDF terrorists, exploded near a betel farm approximately one mile northeast of Htankone Village in Kanbalu Township, Sagaing Region. As a result, U Myo Ko (41 years old), a resident of Htankone Village who was working on the farm at that time, sustained injuries to his left buttock from improvised mortar shell shrapnel and was transported to Kanbalu Township Public Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.
Security personnel are conducting an investigation into the incidents involving the improvised mortar attack on the village, which resulted in the earlier mentioned injuries. The aim of this investigation is to take punitive action against the terrorists involved. This action is in accordance with the law and is geared towards upholding stability and peace in the region, it is reported.
