PDF terrorists and their affiliated groups have been recklessly carrying out acts such as planting mines and blowing up roads and bridges used by the public, to undermine national stability and security, disrupting the flow of goods within regions, and damaging the socioeconomic lives of local communities.
In this regard, at around 3:30 am on 17 December, a PDF terrorist group reportedly planted mines and blew up a reinforced concrete bridge measuring approximately 30 feet in length and 27 feet in width, located between mileposts seven mile four furlongs and seven mile five furlongs on the Kanbalu-Sabal Nantha Road in Kanbalu Township, Sagaing Region. When security personnel went to inspect the site following the report, it was found that the explosion had damaged an area of about two feet in diameter on the bridge deck. The bridge had also been blocked with tree branches to prevent the passage of people and vehicles.
As a result, a joint team comprising security personnel carried out repair work on the damaged bridge and removed the branches used to block it. The repair work was completed at 4 pm on 18 December, and the bridge has since been reopened for normal passage by people and vehicles.
Security personnel continue to carry out necessary security procedures in accordance with established protocols to identify, arrest and take action against the terrorists responsible for planting mines and destroying the bridge used by the public. — MNA/KZL
