     In States and Regions, insurgent groups supporting terrorism and so-called PDF terrorist groups have been carrying out terrorist acts against non-military targets. These acts include detonating public roads and bridges, dropping bombs, firing heavy arms, using improvised mortars, and setting fire to residential houses in areas where innocent civilians reside, such as wards and villages.

     Since they are conducting such terrorist acts, on 28 April, 2024 at 1:00 PM, a group of KNU members who support terrorism, along with so-called PDF terrorists, fired heavy weapons in Walgyi Village, Phyu Township, Bago Region. The shells exploded within the village, causing shrapnel injuries to U Kyaw Lwin (51 years old) and U Phoe Soe (49 years old), both residents of the village. They were transported to Phyu Township Public Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.

     Security personnel are conducting an investigation into the incident involving an attack with heavy weapons, which resulted in the injuries described previously. The aim of this investigation is to take punitive action against the terrorists involved. This action is in accordance with the law and is geared towards upholding stability and peace in the region, it is reported.
