Roads/bridges are being constructed as basic infrastructure for the development of socio-economic life in the region and to facilitate convenient and swift transportation for the people. Armed insurgents who support terrorism and the so-called PDF terrorists, who oppose peace and development in the country, have been carrying out reckless acts by blowing up and destroying roads/ bridges with homemade mines and homemade bombs.
Since they are committing such terrorist acts, on 22 May at 12:45 PM, some members from the KNU who support terrorism and so-called PDF terrorists blew up the No. (1/17) Innthapauk Bridge, located near milepost 16/2 on the Kyaukgyi-Natthankwin Road in Kyaukgyi Township, Bago Region. As a result, 6 feet in width of the 80-foot-long and 18-foot-wide RC Concrete Bridge was damaged, making it impossible for vehicles to pass through, it is reported.
