In some townships across States and Regions, 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 8 November, 2024 at 05:40 PM, a report stated that a woman was injured by gunfire in Kyauk Saung Village, Pakokku Township of Magway Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that the victim was Daw Thida Moe (54 years old) resident of the village. The victim had been travelling by motorboat to Oak Kyaung Village. When the boat reached the water way between Yae Nan Chat Village and Oak Kyaung Village, a so-called PDF terrorist group opened fire from the riverbank. As a result, the victim sustained gunshot wounds and was transported to Chauk Township Public Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.
Security parsonnel 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.
