An Innocent Civilian Recklessly Assassinated 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 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 15 December 2024 at 10:20 AM, a report stated that a man was shot dead in Gan Gaw Wyne Ward, Shwegyin Township of Bago Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that the victim was Ko Tin Maung Maung (29 years old), a resident of Taung Ka Lay Village in Bilin Township of Mon State. The investigation revealed that while the victim was doing masonry work in a two-story building under construction, owned by U Pyae Phyo Zaw, a resident of the ward, a group of KNU members who support terrorism, along with so-called PDF terrorists 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 innocent civilian in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
