     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 2 May 2026 at 9:00 AM, while Ma Cherry Lin (13 year olds), a resident of Mone Village in Kyaukgyi Township of Bago Region, was picking vegetables in an orchard in the village, she stepped on an improvised explosive device planted by a combined group of KNU and so-called PDF terrorists. As a result, the girl sustained shrapnel injuries, it is reported.

     Similarly, at 9:15 AM, a report stated that a man with shrapnel injuries was admitted to Naungcho Township Public Hospital in Shan State. When security personnel arrived at the hospital to conduct further investigation, the victim was identified as U Aung Min Thu (29 years old), a resident of Shauk Chon Village in Naungcho Township. According to the investigation, at 6:00 AM, on the same day, while the victim was working in a forest about three miles east of the village, he stepped on an improvised explosive device planted by so-called PDF terrorists, 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 incidents to take effective action in accordance with the law.
