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 1 February at 5:20 PM, a heavy weapon shell, fired by armed insurgents, exploded at the house of U Phoe Pyar (59 years old), who lives in Kawbatchan Village of Thantaunggyi Township, Kayin State. As a result, U Phoe Pyar, his wife, Daw Naw War Htoo (55 years old), their son Mg Saw Soe Lin Khine (eight years old), and their neighbors, Daw Naw Malaw (64 years old) and Mg Saw Pyae Phyo Aung (10 years old), sustained injuries from the heavy weapon shell shrapnel. They are currently taking medical treatment at Taungoo District Public Hospital, it is reported.
Security personnel are conducting an investigation into the incidents involving the heavy weapon 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.
