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 10 August, 2024 at 2:30 PM, a report stated that a man with gunshot injuries had arrived at Shwebo Township Public Hospital in Sagaing Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the hospital for further investigation, it was discovered that the victim was U Aung Khant (54 years old)a resident of No. (1) Ward in Shwebo Town. When the victim was at his home-based “Shwe Thiha” rice shop, two so-called PDF terrorists arriving by two motorcycles and took him near the Bon San Monastery located in No. (5) Ward, and then the terrorists shot U Aung Khant, leaving him injured, 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.
