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 4:30 PM, a report stated that a woman had sustained stab wounds in An Kaung Village, Kawkareik Township of Kayin State. When security personnel arrived at the scene for further investigation, the victim was identified as Daw Mar Htway (62 years old), a resident of the village. While she was at her house, a so-called PDF terrorist entered the house and attempted to extort money from her. When she was unable to pay, the terrorist stabbed her with a knife and then left the house. As a result, Daw Mar Htway sustained stab wounds and was transported to Mawlamyine 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.
