     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 1 February 2026 at 9:40 PM, a 12-wheeled truck driven by U Myat Tun (38 years old), a resident of the Kyan Sit Thar Housing in Hlaingtharyar (East) Township of Yangon Region, was travelling from Thaton Township to Belin Township. When the truck reached near the “Chaw Su” Petrol Station along milepost 135 of the Yangon-Mawlamyine Road in Ka Yin Lay Seik Village of Thaton Township, an improvised explosive device planted by a combined group of KNU and so-called PDF terrorists exploded on the roadside. As a result of the blast, the right windowpane and right side of the truck were damaged. Additionally, U Myat Tun sustained shrapnel injuries and was transported to Thaton District Public Hospital for medical treatment, 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.
