An innocent civilian injured after stepping on an explosive device planted by a so-called PDF terrorist group in Lashio 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 3 August 2025 at 4:20 PM, a report stated that a man with shrapnel injuries was admitted to the Lashio Township Public Hospital of Shan State. When security personnel arrived at the hospital for further investigation, the victim was identified as U Aung Naing Kyaw (38 years old), a resident of Khay Khan Village in Lashio Township. The incident occurred at 2:00 PM, on the same day, when the victim stepped on an explosive device planted by a so-called PDF terrorist group while collecting mushrooms in a forest near his village, resulting in his injuries, 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.
