In some townships of States and Regions, armed terrorists, based on the one-sided ideology of extremism ‘Everyone who differs from my attitude is my enemy’, are committing violent attacks and assassinations by using knives, guns, grenades, home-made mines and IEDs against innocent civilians who do not support their terrorist acts after accusing them of “Spy/ Informer/ Decoy (Dalan)” to make civilians who live peacefully, very frightened.
Since they are conducting such terrorist acts, on 15 August at 02:30 PM, Ko Aung Hein, 34 years old, who lived in Htantaw Ward of Monywa Township, Sagaing Region, along with Ko Nyein Chan, 33 years old, who lives in Chanmyawadi Ward, were travelling in a lead-colored MDY-17 3G/XXXX Ford vehicle from Monywa Town to Mandalay City along the Monywa-Mandalay Road. When they arrived at the Pakokku junction near Myoma Ward of Chaung-U Township, four so-called PDF terrorists (under scrutiny), who were following them on two motorcycles, opened fire on them before fleeing. As a result, Ko Aung Hein was dead from three gunshot injuries on his chest and waist at the incident, it is reported.
Security Force Members are continuing necessary actions to identify and arrest those terrorists who committed wantonly killings and assassinations against innocent civilians who live peacefully in the abovementioned case based on the one-sided ideology of extremism ‘Everyone who differs from my attitude is my enemy’, it is reported.
