KNLA and PDF terrorists exploded No 1/130 Masaw Bridge between mileposts 129/1 and 129/2 on the Yangon-Mawlamyine Union Highway in Bilin Township of Mon State yesterday.
As a result of the explosion, the 106-foot-long and 24-foot-wide reinforced concrete bridge collapsed, causing three motorcycles to fall. Moreover, one person died, and two others were hurt in the explosion.
The wounded were transported to Bilin People’s Hospital for medical treatment.
Terrorists intentionally exploded public transport facilities to cause difficulties and fears, affecting trade flow, and are committing war crimes.
Officials and staff from the Departments of Highways/Bridges are working to repair the collapsed bridge, and security personnel are conducting counter-terrorism operations. — MNA/KTZH
