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 July 2025 at 12:50 PM, a landmine planted beneath a rain tree on the roadside, between mileposts 93/3 and 93/4 of Yangon-Mawlamyine Road near Moke Pa Lin Village in Kyaikto Township of Mon State, by pro-terrorism KNU members in collaboration with so-called PDF terrorists exploded. As a result, the tree fell onto the road and blocking all traffic. A combined team of security personnel cleared the scene, and by around 3:00 PM on the same day, vehicles were able to pass through the area as normal, 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.
