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 8 December 2024 at 9:00 AM, a report stated that an explosion occurred in Hte Yi Village, Loikaw Township of Kayah State. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that U Maung Htein (62 years old) and his son, Mg Yan Naing Myo (eight years old), both residents of the village, clearing grass on the street next to their house, accidentally stepped on an explosive device planted by a so-called PDF terrorist group, resulting in shrapnel injuries. They were transported to Loikaw Township Public Hospital for medical treatment. Unfortunately, U Maung Htein succumbed to his injuries while being transported to the hospital, 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.
