Moreover, the windshield and body of the bus was destroyed by the explosion.
Terrorists of political extremists, with the intent to disrupt the State’s peace and stability as well as to create public panic, are blowing up the departmental office buildings, roads/bridges and schools and also killing civil servants including teachers. Moreover, they are also launching terrorist attacks against and exploding the religious buildings, sacred by Buddhist Myanmar people and, for good measures, abducting and killing the Buddhist monks.
The security forces members joining hands together with local military columns are reportedly pursuing necessary legal actions to identify and arrest the terrorists who committed in the afore-mentioned incident.
