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 2 June at 06:45 AM, according to the report that a man was dead by gunfire near mile-post 33/4 of the Dawei-Myeik Road located in Sonesinphyar Village of Thayetchaung Township, Tanintharyi Region, security personnel went to the scene to inspect. The investigation found that a TNI-10 8D/xxxx Light Truck vehicle, driven by U San Ni (aka) Myat Thu, 52 years old, (Father) U Than Tun, who lived in Sandawout Village of Myeik Township, was carrying U Soe Thein, 54 years old, Ma Yu Wadi Hlaing, 18 years old and Ma Nwe Ni Win, 20 years old, who all live in Kyaukphyu Village. The vehicle was loaded with watermelons and they were traveling from Dawei Town to Myeik Town. Upon reaching the scene, approximately five so-called PDF terrorists opened fire on them with small arms before fleeing. As a result, U San Ni (aka) Myat Thu was dead from gunshot injuries 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 administrative officials, government employees and civilians who live peacefully in the abovementioned case based on the one-sided ideology of extremism ‘Everyone who differs from my attitude is my enemy’, it is reported.
