An Administrative Official Recklessly Assassinated by So-called PDF Terrorists

    In some townships across States and Regions, so-called PDF 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 servants, administrative officials and innocent civilians 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 2 September, 2024 at 1:10 AM, a report stated that a man was shot dead in Pyin Ka Toe Kone Village, Letpadan Township of Bago Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene to investigate, they discovered that the victim was Village Tract Administrator U Htay Naing (47 years old), a resident of the village. While the victim was at his house, five so-called PDF terrorists arriving by three motorcycles, opened fire on him. As a result, the victim died on the spot, it is reported.
    Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the killing and assassination of an administrative official in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
