    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.

When they arrived near Moe Kan (West) Village, an explosive device planted by a so-called PDF terrorist group exploded on the roadside. As a result, U Maung Zaw (aka) Moha Rik died on the spot, while U Myint Oo (aka) Ar Sha Rik sustained injuries from shrapnel.
