Although the injured victims were transported to the Tilin public hospital, all of them died of the injuries.
With the intents to paralyze the Government administration mechanism as well as to disrupt the State’s peace and stability, terrorists of political extremists are firing small arms and support weapons at non-military targets of towns and villages where innocent civilians live, and carrying out bomb attacks on public areas, buildings as well as roads and bridges. The entire people are disgusted by their acts of terrorism since such violent attacks are the inhumane acts of terrorism claiming the lives of people and inflicting damage to their property.
It is reported that local security force members continue necessary measures to identify and arrest the terrorists who fired improvised mortars at non-military targets of towns and villages.
