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 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 25 May 2025 at 12:30 PM, U Tin Soe (53 years old) and his sister in law, Daw Mya Khine (50 years old), both residents of Paung Sabar Village in Paukkhaung Township of Bago Region, were returning to their village from Sai Pyit Inn Village. Upon reaching their village, a so-called PDF terrorist group appeared and opened fire on them. As a result, Daw Mya Khine died on the spot, while U Tin Soe sustained gunshot wounds. He was transported to Paukkhaung Township Public Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.
Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the aforementioned case, it is reported.
