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 6 August, 2024 at 1:30 PM, a report stated that a man was shot dead in No. (4) Ward, Natogyi Township of Mandalay Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that the victim was U Bo Bo Htet (36 years old) a resident of the ward. While he was working at his “Jam Jam” betel nut and betel leaf selling shop, two so-called PDF terrorists arrived by a motorcycle, opened fire on him and then fled. As a result, U Bo Bo Htet 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 an innocent civilian in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
