Innocent Civilians Recklessly Assassinated by KNU Members Supporting Terrorism 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 23 September, 2024 at 8:45 PM, a report stated that a man and a woman were shot dead in Moke Kha Mu Village, Kyaikto Township of Mon State. Upon investigation by security personnel, the victims were identified as U Myint Aung (55 years old) and his daughter, Ma Win Nu Khine (aka) Ma Kay (30 years old), both residents of the village. While the victims were at their house, four individuals from KNU members who support terrorism and so-called PDF terrorist group arriving by two motorcycles and opened fire on them. As a result, the victims died on the spot, it is reported.
    Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the killings and assassinations of innocent civilians in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
