     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 16 June 2025 at 6:30 AM, an explosive device, planted by pro-terrorism KNU members and so-called PDF terrorists, exploded near the Yangon–Mawlamyine railway tracks at Mileposts 123/3 and 123/4 furlongs, located between Dounwun Station and Kayin Lay Seik Village in Thaton Township of Mon State. The explosion occurred while security personnel, along with members of the Public Security and Counter-Terrorism Team, were conducting mine clearance activities. As a result, two members of the Public Security and Counter-Terrorism Team, U Nyan Zaw Oo (36 years old) and U Win Thu (35 years old), both residents of Htaung Hmu Village, sustained shrapnel injuries. The injured were transported to Thein Seik Station Hospital for medical treatment. Unfortunately, U Nyan Zaw Oo succumbed to his injuries en route to the hospital. The blast caused no damage to the railway track, 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.
