Armed insurgents and PDF terrorists are setting fire to state-owned buildings, towns and villages in certain regions and states. Moreover, they are abducting and killing locals who do not support them, accusing them of being criminals (called informants) and destroying roads and bridges with Improvised Explosive Devices(IEDs). But Myanmar Military personnel, members of the Myanmar Police Force, and security forces have sacrificed their lives in fighting armed insurgents and PDF terrorists, aiming to maintain national stability and ensure the people’s ability to live in peace.
Yesterday in Kanbalu Township, Sagaing Region, security forces protecting the lives and socioeconomic well-being of the people, received a warm welcome and encouragement from locals, departmental staff, and monks in Kanbalu. They were greeted with thousands of flowers and drums. The security forces continue to execute Counter-Terrorism Operations in line with the Law of Armed Conflict provisions, based on the four articles of the Geneva Convention and following the Rules of Engagement (ROE).
