Innocent Civilians Recklessly Assassinated by 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 7 August, 2024 at 8:00 AM, a report stated that two women were shot dead and another was injured in In Ma Htee Village, Pa le Township of Sagaing Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that the victims were Daw Chaw May (60 years old), Daw Aye Paing (42 years old)  and Daw Nwet Yi (41 years old) all residents of the village. While they were farming near the village, five so-called PDF terrorists arrived and opened fire on them before fleeing. As a result, Daw Chaw May and Daw Aye Paing died on the spot, while Daw Nwet Yi sustained gunshot injuries. She was transported to a Local Military Hospital for medical treatment, 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.
