Terrorists carried out inhumane acts using explosive devices by capitalizing on unguarded moments of security personnel

     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 17 November 2024 at 1:45 PM, a report stated that an explosion occurred near Kone Gyi Village in Wetlet Township of Sagaing Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that Daw Myint Myint Soe (45 year old), staff officer at the Shwebo District Agriculture Office and resident of No.7 Ward in Shwebo Township and Daw Khin Soe Moe (49 years old), resident of Shwe Phone Myint Ward in Watlet Township, were travelling on a motorcycle from Wetlet Town to Shwebo Town along the Shwebo-Wetlet road. When they arrived near Kone Gyi Village, an explosive device planted by a so-called PDF terrorist group exploded on the roadside, injuring them with shrapnel. They were transported to Mandalay Public Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.
     Similarly, at 5:30 PM, a report stated that an explosion occurred near Sapu Pyin Village in Palaw Township of Tanintharyi Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that U Than Zaw (50 years old) and his wife, Daw Sandar (51 years old), both residents of the village, were heading to an orchard near the village. When they approached the orchard, they stepped on an explosive device planted by a so-called PDF terrorist group. The device exploded, causing them to sustain shrapnel injuries. They were subsequently transported to Palaw Township Public Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.
     It has been reported that the security forces are investigating the culprits of the acts of terrorism from the above incidents to take effective action in accordance with the law.
