Innocent Civilians Recklessly Assassinated by KNU Members Support terrorisms and So-called PDF Terrorists

     In some townships across States and Regions, so-called PDF 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 4 October, 2024 at 1:40 PM, U San Oo (54 years old), a resident of Northern Ward of Kyaikto Township of Mon State, was returning on his motorcycle from Kaw Htin Village along the Kyaik Katar - Bo Yar Gyi - Kyaik Htin Road. When he arrived near the cemetery of Kaw Htin Village, a KNU member supporting terrorism, along with two so-called PDF terrorist who had followed him on another motorcycle, opened fire on him. As a result, U San Oo died on the spot, it is reported.
     Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the killing and assassination of innocent civilian in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
