In some townships across States and Regions, terrorists motivated by a radical ideology that views “anyone with differing views is an enemy” are conducting violent assaults and assassinations. Their targets are administrative officials and 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 13 July 2025 at 9:30 AM, a report stated that a man shot dead in Lat Htoke Village, Nyaung-U Township of Mandalay Region. When security personnel arrived at the scene for further investigation, the victim was identified as U Myo Myint Win (53 years old), a resident of the village. When he was at his house, six so-called PDF terrorists arriving by three motorcycles and gunned him down, accusing him of being a “decoy”. As a result, U Myo Myint died on the spot, it is reported.
Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the aforementioned case, it is reported.
