     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 28 June, 2024 at 11:15 AM, security personnel received a report of an explosion occurred in No. (5) Ward, Shwebo Township, Sagaing Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that Daw Thu Zar Aung (42 years old) and her son Ko Aung Thu Oo (24 years old)  both residents of the ward, were on their way to herd goats. When they arrived a field near the bypass, they inadvertently triggered an explosive device planted by a so-called PDF terrorist group, which detonated, causing injuries from shrapnel. They were transported to Shwebo District Public Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.

     Similarly, at 11:30 AM, security personnel received a report of an explosion occurred in No. (1) Ward, Myaing Township, Magway Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that U Kyaw Than Sein (45 years old) and a resident of the ward, had stepped on an explosive device planted by a so-called PDF terrorist group. He was heading to a field northwest of the ward to gather cow feed when the device detonated, resulting in his immediate death, 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.
