20 June 2025
Terrorists committing inhumane acts have been engaging in battles, firing heavy weapons and improvised rockets and dropping bombs using drones into the residential areas, including towns, wards and villages.
Since they are committing such terrorist acts, on 19 June 2025 at 7:00 AM, a so-called PDF terrorist group fired heavy weapons into Wathon Dara Village in Madaya Township of Mandalay Region. The shells exploded within the village. As a result, U Khin Min Zaw (58 years old), U Saw Tun (55 years old), U Soe Zaw Oo (38 years old), U Myint Ko (59 years old) and Ma Zu Yadanar Ko (three years old), all residents of the village, sustained shrapnel injuries from the blasts, it is reported.
Similarly, at 8:00 AM, U Thaung Htay (53 years old), a resident of Lat Kaung Lay Village in Madaya Township, stepped on an explosive device planted by a so-called PDF terrorist group while on his way to a stream east of his village to fish. As a result, he sustained severe injuries that led to the amputation of his right leg, it is reported.
The injured individuals from the above incidents are receiving medical treatment at Mandalay Public Hospital. Security personnel visited them, conducted inquiries and provided necessary assistance.
Due to the heinous acts of armed terrorists such as engaging in battles and firing of heavy weapons and improvised rockets within towns, wards and villages where innocent civilians peacefully reside, innocent civilians have been injured or killed. Consequently, local residents are protesting vehemently against these acts of terrorism, completely refusing to accept them. Security personnel are intensifying necessary security measures in collaboration with the local residents, it is reported.
