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 29 September 2025 at 6:20 PM, a report stated that an explosion occurred between mileposts 121/5 and 121/6 on the Yangon-Mandalay Highway in Phyu Township of Bago Region. When security personnel arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was found that the explosion had been caused by an improvised explosive device planted at the Nyaung Pin Thar Seik Gyi crossroads by a so-called PDF terrorist group. As a result, one of the 220-volt high-tension power lines connecting Hin Ngok Pin and Thar Yar Kone villages was severed and responsible personnel had to carry out repairs, 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.
