When security forces returned fire, the terrorists fled in disarray to Taungpyinnge village with heavy injuries. As they were camping in a school in the village, committing extortion from local people and preparing terrorist acts, security forces raided the school.
It was reported that the terrorists fled to the western part of the village and the security forces did not have casualty. However, one Skat motorcar, five homemade pistols, 7,000 rounds of AK ammunition, 50 rounds of 9mm ammunition, 3 magazines of AK, 13 hand grenades, 120 detonators, five Pyi of gunpowder, two suits of camouflage uniforms with TNLA badge and 10 camouflage uniforms without badge and other accessories.
As an intentional camping at the school that is not used for military purposes is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions and international law, effective action will be taken against those crime breakers under the Counter-Terrorism Law, the Penal Code and the relevant existing laws, and the security forces are continuing to take security measures in the area.—MNA
