A male was injured by a homemade mine explosion in Shwebo Township.


     In order to cause injuries to both peaceable individuals and administrative authorities who are working 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, departmental offices, and residential houses.

     Since they are conducting such terrorist acts, on 15 September at 07:00 AM, according to the report that an explosion occurred in Chipar Village of Shwebo Township, Sagaing Region, security personnel went to the scene and conducted an inspection. According to the investigation, it is found that Ko Toe Aung (21 years old), who lives in this Village, was leaving home to go to a fish pound located approximately five furlongs south of the Village. When he arrived near the fish pound, a homemade mine planted by a so-called PDF terrorist group exploded on the right of the road. As a result, Ko Toe Aung sustained injuries from mine shrapnel and was transported to the Shwebo Township Public Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.

     It has been reported that the security personnel are investigating the perpetrators of the acts of terrorism from the above incident in order to be able to take effective action in accordance with laws.
