An Administrative Official Recklessly Shot Dead by So-called PDF Terrorists

     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 2 December 2024 at 5:00 PM, Sin Ma Taung Village Tract Administrator U Hla Wai (46 years old), a resident of Sin Ma Taung Village in Sinpaungwe Township of Magway Region, was returning to his village in a vehicle from Koe Pin Village. When he arrived near Thar Si Village, five so-called PDF terrorists, who had been waiting for him, forced the vehicle to stop and opened fire on him. As a result, U Hla Wai 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 administrative official in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
