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 against administrative officials and 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 17 September at 10:50 AM, according to the report that two males and two females were found dead near Ngwetaung Village of Sinku Township, Mandalay Region, security personnel went to the scene and conducted an inspection.
