In some townships across States and Regions, armed terrorists motivated by a radical ideology that views 'anyone with differing views is an enemy' are conducting violent assaults and assassinations. Their targets are civil services, administrative officials and innocent civilians who do not support their terrorist acts. Using firearms and knives, these terrorists are committing brutal assassination 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 13 May, 2024 at 2:15 PM, a report stated that a man was shot dead in No. (6) Ward, Hlaingtharyar (Eastern) Township, Yangon Region.

As a result, Ko Aung Kyaw Htoo (aka) Ahnyar Thar died on the sport with gunshot wounds, it is reported.
Similarly, at 6:10 PM on the same day, a report stated that two men and a woman were shot dead in Kwun Site Village, Myingyan Township, Mandalay Region. Security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation and it was discovered that when U Shwe Maung (60 years old), U Kyaw Myint (60 years old) and his wife, Daw San San Aye (50 years old), all residents of the village, were at their respective houses, 15 so-called PDF terrorists arrived on eight motorcycles, had them gather in front of U Kyaw Myint’s house and shot them dead.
