Two Innocent Civilians Injured After Stepping on Explosive Device Planted by Terrorist Faction in Loikaw Township of Kayah State

     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 May 2025 at 1:00 PM, a report stated that an explosion occurred in Naung Yar (Kha Khway) Ward, Loikaw Township of Kayah State. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, they found that Ma Chit Htway (25 years old) and Ma San San Nwe (34 years old), both daily wage employees of the Loikaw Township Road Department and residents of Lawdama Ward in Loikaw Town, were heading to Christ the King Central Church in the ward. Upon entering the church compound, they stepped on an explosive device, reportedly planted by a terrorist faction. The device detonated, injuring both women. They were transported to Loikaw Town Public Hospital for medical treatment, 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.
