Innocent Civilians Recklessly Assassinated by Terrorists

     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 24  November 2024 at 9:30 AM, a report stated that a woman was shot dead in Ingyin Thar Village, Taungoo Township of Bago Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that the victim was Daw Thida (50 years old), a resident of the village. The investigation revealed that three individuals associated with the KNU group, which supports terrorism, along with so-called PDF terrorists opened fire on her while she was in front of her house. As 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 innocent civilian in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
