Misinformation circulated regarding fatal explosion in Sagaing Region

The subversive media outlets are spreading false news alleging that an explosion caused by security forces on the morning of 18 March killed a father and son in Sanmyo ward, Kalay Township, Sagaing Region and that the number of casualties has risen.
However, according to a resident, the explosion was caused by a mine planted by PDF terrorists, which detonated in front of the KBZ bank in Sanmyo ward on the morning of 18 March, resulting in the death of a father and his son at the scene. These malicious media outlets are circulating misinformation, failing to provide accurate news in a timely manner, and undermining the stability of the region. — MNA/TMT
