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.

Insurgents committing terrorist activities have been engaging in battles, firing heavy weapons and improvised rockets and dropping bombs using drones into the public towns, wards and villages.

In some townships across States and Regions, terrorists motivated by a radical ideology that views “anyone with differing views is an enemy” are conducting violent assaults and assassinations. Their targets are administrative officials who do not support their terrorist acts. Using firearms and knives, these terrorists are committing brutal assassinations after accusing them of “spies, informants or decoys”. This strategy is intended to in still fear among peaceable civilians and create a pervasive sense of dread within these communities.

Since 2022, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, various countries have reached out to the Myanmar Police Force through diplomatic, Interpol and police liaison channels, requesting assistance in locating and rescuing their nationals who are encountering difficulties in Myanmar for various reasons.
