ON 25 March, armed individuals identified as PDF members launched a rocket-propelled grenade attack inside the Aung Zeya market in Thetthapantaung Ward in Shwebo, Sagaing Region. As a result, five innocent civilians, including a child, were injured.

The incident occurred around 1 pm on 25 March, when PDF terrorists, approximately 250 metres southwest of Ushikan village, fired a rocket-propelled grenade into the market. A five-year-old child and four women selling goods in the market sustained injuries from the explosion. The injured individuals were promptly transported to the Shwebo Township People’s Hospital for medical treatment.

Such attacks have disrupted the peaceful lives of locals in towns and villages. The use of heavy and small weapons, as well as explosive devices such as drop bombs and rocket-propelled grenades, has caused severe damage to homes and properties, resulting in the loss of lives and property. These acts of violence by armed terrorists have been strongly condemned by local communities, who are not accepting these actions. In response, security forces have been increasing their efforts to carry out necessary security operations.
