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 civil servants, 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 3 September, 2024 at 8:30 AM, a report stated that a man and a woman were shot dead in Nyan Kan Village, Mahlaing Township of Mandalay Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, they discovered that the victims were U Aung Win (67 years old) and his wife, Daw Phwar Myaing (60 years old) both residents of the village. While the victims were at their house, approximately 10 so-called PDF terrorists arriving by motorcycles and opened fire on them, resulting in their deaths on the spot, it is reported.
Likewise, at 1:25 PM, a report stated that a man and a woman were stabbed and shot to death in near Baw Dar Village, Paukkhaung Township of Bago Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, they discovered that the victims were U Khin Maung Win (70 years old), a MPT telecommunication tower guard and his wife, Daw Khin Myo Win (63 years old), both residents of the village.
