In some townships across States and Regions, armed terrorists driven by a radicalized ideology that considers 'Anyone with differing views is an enemy' are carrying out violent assaults and assassinations. Their targets include administrative officials and innocent civilians who do not endorse their terrorist activities. Using firearms and knives, they accuse these individuals of being 'spies,' 'informants,' or 'decoys' to instill fear among peace-seeking civilians, causing a pervasive sense of dread within these communities.

Security personnel promptly arrived at the scene and conducted an inspection. During the investigation, it was found that an approximately 30-year-old man (under investigation), had been shot and killed by so-called PDF terrorists at the location. As a result, he was dead from open head wound and three bullet penetrating injuries to his left chest. The deceased was transported to Myingyan District Public Hospital for further examination, it is reported.
