PDF terrorists carried out an attack using bomb drops on Maha Pyinsima Rama Monastery in Zeegon village, Shwebo Township, Sagaing Region, despite it not being a military target. The attack resulted in the death of an innocent civilian and injuries to two young novices and another villager.

The incident occurred at around 6:30 pm on 26 February, when a drone operated by terrorists flew from approximately 800 metres southeast of Zeegon village. The drone dropped multiple bombs inside the Maha Pyinsima Rama Monastery compound, causing injuries to two novices and a villager, while another civilian lost his life. Local healthcare workers provided necessary medical treatment to the injured.

Terrorists have been repeatedly targeting villages that do not support them, using tactics such as dropping bombs, launching surprise attacks and planting landmines. These acts have led to frequent casualties among innocent civilians and Buddhist monks. The brutal actions of terrorist groups have caused widespread fear among residents, prompting security forces to intensify protective measures in the affected areas.
