NAY PYI TAW September 26
NUG and PDF terrorists with the intention of harming peaceloving people and administrative officials, who are maintaining the rule of law, and disturbing road transport are planting and blowing up explosives and committing firearm assaults on public roads.
Acting on a tip-off from people who oppose terrorism that NUG and PDF terrorists were plotting a large-scale mine attack against travellers and security members on YeU-KhinU Road for no apparent reason, security forces carried out a mine-clearing operation along the road from 21 to 25 September. During the operation, they defused various kinds of 112 home-made bombs, four home-made grenades and accessories found on both sides of the road to save the public from the danger of explosives, and seized three home-made guns.
In the past also, NUG and PDF terrorists launched explosive attacks, ambush attacks and surprise destructive attacks on the travellers and security forces on YeU-KhinU Road. Some innocent people were killed or wounded and some security members faced minor injuries during the attacks committed by the terrorists for 93 times along the road during the period from July to 25 September.
Security forces are trying to expose and take legal action against the persons who committed terrorist acts on the public road.
They will continue their operation to clean mines on the Union highway and ensure security, peace and stability in the area for public safety.
