In some townships across States and Regions, armed 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 28 July, 2024 at 9:50 AM, a report stated that a man was shot dead in Bant Kwal Village, Patheingyi Township of Mandalay Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that the victim was U Nyunt Wai (57 years old), a resident of the village. While he was at his house, five so-called PDF terrorists arrived by two motorcycles and opened fire on him. As a result, the victim 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 an innocent civilian in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
