Innocent Civilian Injured by Explosive Device Planted by Pro-Terrorism Armed Insurgent Group in Hsipaw Township of Shan State

    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 19 July 2025 at 8:20 PM, a report stated that a girl with shrapnel injuries was admitted to Township Public Hospital in Lashio Township of Shan State. When security personnel arrived at the hospital for further investigation, the victim was identified as Ma Yu Za Na Tun (12 years old), a resident of Naung Kaw Gyi Village in Hsipaw Township. The incident had occurred at around 4:00 PM on the same day, while the victim was returning home after collecting firewood in a forest west of her village. When she reached a jungle path near her village, an explosive device planted by a pro-terrorism armed insurgent group exploded, causing injuries to the victim, 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.
