Terrorists Bomb Bridge Again: Thanlwin Bridge (Pasaung) bombed 2nd time
Tatmadaw columns completely regained control of Pasaung on February 15, after it had been temporarily occupied by KNPP, KNDF, and so-called PDF terrorists. While security forces continued regional stabilization efforts in the area, news was previously released regarding the terrorists' senseless destruction of the Thanlwin Bridge (Pasaung) on February 17 and the Pon Chaung Bridge on February 20.These acts were carried out to prevent military columns from pursuing and crushing them. At approximately 10:00 AM, on February 25, 2026, KNPP, KNDF, and PDF terrorists detonated mines to attack the Thanlwin Bridge (Pasaung) for a second time. This bridge is a vital link between Pasaung and Mese townships in Kayah State, serving as a primary artery for public travel and the flow of goods.The explosion caused a section of the bridge between piers P-5 and P-7 (located on the western side) to collapse. Approximately 300 feet in length and 24 feet in width. No injuries or deaths were reported. The Thanlwin Bridge (Pasaung) is a major crossing over the Thanlwin River near Pasaung.Its technical specifications are reinforced Concrete (RC), 1,260 feet long and 24 feet wide, 3-foot paths on both the left and right sides and construction was completed and the bridge was opened for public use in 2015. Due to the reckless and destructive actions of the terrorists, motor vehicles and travelers can no longer pass through, resulting in a total standstill of commodity flow. Although these groups claim to act for regional benefit, they have targeted a non-military infrastructure project to serve their own interests. This malicious destruction of a critical civilian infrastructure has caused significant socio-economic loss and hardship for the local population, it’s learnt.mitv
