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 non-CDM staff after forcibly pressuring civil service personnel who are loyal to the State to join CDM as well as others who do not support their terrorist acts after accusing them of “Spy/ Informer/ Decoy (Dalan)” to make administrative officials, government employees and civilians who live peacefully, very frightened.
Since they are conducting such terrorist acts, on 13 May at 09:20 AM, according to the report that two men were found dead with gunshot injuries in Mongon Village of Taungoo Township, Bago Region, security personnel went to the scene to inspect. The investigation found that U Myo Thein Oo, 45 years old, (Father) U Ohn Shwe, and his son Mg Htut Khaung Soe, 18 years old, who both lived in this village, were digging a well in a rubber farm behind their house, when terrorists (total number - under scrutiny) arrived.

Additionally, nine shells of 5.56 bullet were found and seized near the scene, it is reported.
