In some townships across States and Regions, terrorists motivated by a radical ideology that views “anyone with differing views is an enemy” are conducting violent assaults and assassinations. Their targets are administrative officials who do not support their terrorist acts. Using firearms and knives, these terrorists are committing brutal assassinations after accusing them of “spies, informants or decoys”. This strategy is intended to instill fear among peaceable civilians and create a pervasive sense of dread within these communities.
Since they are committing such terrorist acts, on 23 May 2025 at 2:00 PM, Ko Kyaw Win Htut (25 years old), a 100-household elder and resident of Tha Yet Thone Pin Village in Thegon Township of Bago Region, was on his way to Yone Pin Thet Village for shopping. Upon reaching the road between Yone Pin Thet Village and Phar San Kan Village, five so-called PDF terrorists arrived and opened fire on him. As a result, Ko Kyaw Win Htut died on the spot, it is reported.
Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the killing of innocent civilian in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
