In regions and states, insurgent groups supporting terrorism and so-called PDF terrorist groups have been carrying out terrorist acts against non-military targets. These acts include detonating public roads and bridges, dropping bombs, firing heavy arms, using improvised mortars, and setting fire to residential houses in areas where innocent civilians reside, such as wards and villages.
Since they are conducting such terrorist acts, on 20 October at 09:00 AM, an injured female and the deceased body of another female arrived at the Township Public Hospital in Htigyaing Township, Sagaing Region. Security personnel rushed to the hospital and conducted an inspection. Upon examination, they found Ma No Zin (15 years old), residing in No. (1) Sanpya Ward of Htigyaing Town, with a bullet penetrating injury through her left chest to her back and a gunshot injury to her right thigh. Additionally, Ma Thun Yati (20 years old) was found dead with six gunshot injuries to her neck, hand, and both legs. The incident was verified. On 19 October at 07:00 PM, while both were present in Ma Thun Yati’s grocery store, they heard that so-called PDF terrorists had attacked security forces at the Htigyaing Town entrance checkpoint. Consequently, they closed the shop and were returning home on a motorcycle when they were shot by terrorists' gunfire, resulting in their deaths and the aforementioned injuries, it is reported.
