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 14 August, 2024 at 8:00 AM, security personnel received a report stating that an explosion occurred near Maung Mal Shaung Village in Dawei Township of Tanintharyi Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that Ma Pan Su Khin (19 years old) a resident of the village, had been returning from a rubber plantation near Za Har Village to Maung Mal Shaung Village along a jungle path. When she arrived near the Bo Bo Gyi Nat (Deity) Shrine at the entrance of Maung Mal Shaung Village, she accidently stepped on an explosive device planted by a so-called PDF terrorist group, causing it to explode. As a result, Ma Pan Su Khin sustained shrapnel injuries and was transported to Dawei Township Public Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.
It has been reported that 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.
