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.
Since they are conducting such terrorist acts, on 26 February at 11:30 AM, a report stated that a woman was injured by gunfire in Daweizay Ward of Sagaing Township, Sagaing Region. Security personnel promptly arrived at the scene and conducted an inspection. During the investigation, it was found Daw Moe San Aye (45 years old), a resident of the ward, was in her house yard when two so-called PDF terrorists arrived on a motorcycle and shot her before fleeing. As a result, Daw Moe San Aye sustained gunshot wounds and was transported to Sagaing Township Public Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.
