Innocent Civilian Released from So-Called PDF Terrorist Group in Ywarngan Township of Shan State

     Terrorist groups have been engaging in battles, carrying out attacks using heavy weapons, drones to drop bombs and improvised explosive devices across towns and villages in various states and regions. Moreover, they are committing inhumane acts of terror and criminal activities-including abducting and extorting money from local civilians, as well as killings.
     Since they are conducting such terrorist acts, on 10 July 2025 at 6:00 PM, a so-called PDF terrorist group abducted U Cho Myint (72 years old), a retired ward/village clerk and U Kyaw Kyaw (51 years old), both from Ya Nal Village in Ywargnan Township of Shan State. On 12 July 2025 at 6:30 PM, U Cho Myint was released from the terrorists and safely returned home, it is reported.
     Regarding the above incident, security personnel are continuing necessary operations in accordance with standard procedures to identify, apprehend and take action against the terrorists involved, it is reported.
