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 14 May 2025 at 9:15 AM, a report stated that a man was shot dead in Zoke Ka Li Village, Bilin Township of Mon State. When security personnel conducted further investigation, they discovered that the victim was identified as U Zaw Win (57 years old), a resident of the village. The incident occurred while he was at a tea shop in the village, a pro-terrorism KNU member and a so-called PDF terrorist arriving by motorcycle and opened fire on him. As a result, U Zaw Win 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.
