Monk and Innocent Civilian Killed in Explosion by So-called PDF Faction in Yenanchaung Township of Magway Region

     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 5 March 2025 at 9:30 AM, a report stated that an explosion occurred near Oak Shik Kone Village in Yenanchaung Township of Magway Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that U Win Hlaing (48 years old), a resident of Yin Ma Chaung Village in Yenanchaung Township and a monk named Thu Zin Nya (40 years old), who had been in monkhood for 20 years from a monastery in Yin Ma Chaung Village, were travelling to Oak Shik Kone on a motorcycle. When they approached the village, an explosive device planted by a so-called PDF terrorist faction detonated on the roadside. As a result, both individuals died from the blast, 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.
