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 the public 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 17 July at 05:00 PM, five so-called PDF terrorists (under scrutiny) arrived on three motorcycles at the “Swanin” petrol station located in Tabinshwehtee Ward of Myinmu Township, Sagaing Region. They engaged in a conversation with the station employee Ma Kay Thwal Moe, 28 years old (Father) U Soe Thint to fuel their motorcycles. While Ma Kay Thwal Moe prepared to fill the fuel, the terrorists opened fire on her before fleeing. As a result, Ma Kay Thwal Moe sustained a gunfire injury of her left chest, and was transported to the Myinmu Township Public hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.
Likewise, on 18 July at 04:00 AM, U Zaw Thein Oo, 42 years old (Father) U Nyunt Shwe, who lived in Mawone Ward of Hpakant Township, Kachin State, was preparing to open his home-based shop, when three male terrorists (under scrutiny) arrived on two motorcycles and opened fire on him before fleeing. As a result, U Zaw Thein Oo was dead from four gunshot injuries on his forehead, occipital region and frontal area of the head at the scene, it is reported.
Security Force Members are continuing necessary actions to identify and arrest those terrorists who committed wantonly killings and assassinations against the civilians who live peacefully in the abovementioned cases based on the one-sided ideology of extremism ‘Everyone who differs from my attitude is my enemy’, it is reported.
