Innocent Civilans Recklessly Assassinated by So-called PDF Terrorists

    In some townships across States and Regions, so-called PDF terrorists motivated by a radical ideology that views “anyone with differing views is an enemy” are conducting violent assaults and assassinations. Their targets are innocent civilians who do not support their terrorist acts. Using firearms and knives, these terrorists are committing brutal assassinations after accusing them of “spies, informants, or decoys”. This strategy is intended to instill fear among peaceable civilians and create a pervasive sense of dread within these communities.
    Since they are committing such terrorist acts, on 23 October, 2024 at 10:30 AM, a report stated that a woman was shot dead and a man was injured by gunfire in Nyan Kan Village, Mahlaing Township, Mandalay Region.

As a result, Daw Pyae Phyo Oo (aka) Daw Jam Sein died on the spot, while U Zaw Myo Hein sustained gunshot injuries. The deceased and injured man were transported to Mahlaing Township Public Hospital for examination and medical treatment, it is reported.
