An Innocent Civilian Recklessly Assassinated by So-called 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 11 November, 2024 at 7:00 AM, a report stated that a man was shot dead between Kone Bo Village and Wah Thone Pyue Village in Sinpaungwe Township of Magway Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that the victim was U Zaw Khin (46 years old) a resident of Thiri Yadanar Village in Taungtwingyi Township. The victim had been travelling by motorcycle from Sam Ai Village in Sinpaungwe Township to Thiri Yadanar Village. When he reached the area between Kone Bo Village and Wah Thone Pyue Village, three so-called PDF terrorists, who had been waiting for him, opened fire. 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 an innocent civilian in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
