An Innocent Civilan 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 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 27 October, 2024 at 1:35 PM, a report stated that a man was shot dead in Kyauk Pate Village, Kyunsu Township of Tanintharyi Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that the victim was U Aung Zaw (48 years old), a resident of the village. While the victim was attending a house where mourning ceremony was being held in the village, four so-called PDF terrorists arrived and took him to a jetty on the outskirts of the village. Then, they 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 killings and assassinations of innocent civilians in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
