In some townships across the 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 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 5 June, 2024 at 8:25 AM, security personnel received a report stating that a man had been shot dead at the “Myint Kyaw Thu-2” tea shop at the corner of 133 Streets and 53 Streets in (Za Kwal) Ward, Pyigyidagun Township, Mandalay Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, they discovered that the victim was identified as Ward Administrator U Ye Lwin (57 years old), a resident of the ward. The incident occurred while U Ye Lwin was at the tea shop; two so-called PDF terrorists riding a motorcycle along 133 Streets opened fire on him before fleeing. Consequently, U Ye Lwin died on the spot from gunshot injuries, it is reported.
Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the death of the administrative official in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
