KNPP and PDF terrorists kill innocent civilians in Kayah State, abduct the faculty members and government employees and destroy the houses of people. They also communicate with some ethnic armed organizations to purchase arms and ammunition to launch destructive attacks.

The government and Tatmadaw currently focus on the safety of people, tranquillity and the rule of law across the nation. On 16 November, New Power petrol station owner Khun Thaung Tun from Lwetet village in Panmont village-tract of Pinlaung Township, who transported the arms and ammunition to the KNPP and PDFs, was arrested.

According to his confession, other five suspects Khun Aung Min, Khun Nay Myo, Kyaw Zin Tun, Khun Aung Kyaw Myint and Khun Aung Kyaw were arrested in the house yard of Pay Tuu (aka) Mariyano from Panmont village of Pinlaung Township, together with 130 arms including RPGs, machine guns, Type-81 automatic rifles, 7,632 bombs, 13,670 7.62 bullets, one hundred-107 mm detonation coil, 500 small barrels, 1,829 magazines, 950 kilogrammes of TNT powder, 200 kilogrammes of ammonium nitrate, 2,000 sets of equipment, three six-wheeled Canter vehicles, one Ford car and one Vigo car (all without licences).

It is reported that another suspect Pay Tuu (aka) Mariano who transported the arms and ammunition to Kayah State was arrested yesterday.

Offenders Khun Thaung Tun and Pay Tuu (aka) Mariano testified that they carried the weapons four times from 10 people who wore SSPP/SSA uniforms in Konkyaung village of Pinlaung Township under the instructions of KNPP and PDFs of Kayah State and stored them in the warehouse of the house, and they were arrested while arranging to transfer these weapons to Kayah State.

Arrestees will face legal action under the law. People can participate in fighting terrorism and arresting KNPP members and PDFs as quickly as possible, secretly report to the officials about their hiding places and activities, and the whistle-blowers and those who help arrest the suspects will be covertly rewarded.
