In some townships across States and Regions, armed terrorists driven by an extremist ideology of 'Anyone with differing views is an enemy' are carrying out violent assaults and assassinations. Their targets include civil service personnel, 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 20 December at 02:00 AM, U Win Kywal (42 years old), an employee of Thayettaw Basic Education Primary School, who lives in Sikone Village of Minhla Township, Bago Region, was riding his motorcycle alone back home from Kinepyingyi Village along Village Connected road. As he reached the outskirts of Myanmarsikwa Village, two male terrorists (under scrutiny) on a motorcycle following him opened fire before fleeing the scene. As a result, U Win Kyawl sustained gunshot injuries and was transported to Letpadan Township Public Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.
Similarly, at 05:00 AM, Daw San San Win (52 years old), a Junior Assistant teacher from Ahkyatinn Basic Education High School, and her elder sister, Daw Htay Myint (67 years old), who both live in Ahkyatinn Village of Phyu Township, were asleep in their home. During this time, a group of five so-called PDF terrorists (under scrutiny), arrived and opened fire upon them. As a result, both sisters sustained gunshot injuries and were transported to Phyu Township Public Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.

Tragically, U Myat Myo Tun was dead from gunshot injuries, it is reported.

During the investigation, it was found that Daw Sandar (47 years old), who lives in Kyatshar Village of Singaing Township, was traveling alone on her three-wheeled motorcycle towards Kyaukse Town to sell goods.

As a result, Daw Sandar sustained a gunshot injury and was transported to Kyaukse Township Public Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.
Likewise, at 01:30 PM, a report stated that a female was killed in Zeepinkan Village of Myingyan Township. Security personnel promptly arrived at the scene and conducted an inspection. During the investigation, it was found that Daw Tin Nwe (70 years old), who lived in this village, was collecting grass for cattle feed in a field located approximately three furlongs southwest of the village. At that time, a terrorist group (exact number-under scrutiny) approached her and violently assaulted her with sticks. Furthermore, the terrorists forcibly took a pair of gold earrings she was wearing before fleeing the scene. As a result, Daw Tin Nwe was dead from injuries to her head, neck and face, it is reported.

As a result, U Aung Win was dead from gunshot injuries, it is reported.
Security personnel are persistently undertaking essential measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for indiscriminate killings and assassinations of civil service personnel, administrative officials, and innocent civilians in the abovementioned cases. These acts stem from an extremist ideology that deems anyone holding differing views as an enemy, it is reported.
