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 8 June, 2024 at 12:00 PM, U Myint Hlaing (49 years old), a resident of Thanti Pa Htan Ward in Palnwekone Town, Kyauktaga Township, Bago Region, was in his house, five so-called PDF terrorists arrived by three motorcycles and opened fire on him. Consequently, U Zaw Thet Win died on the spot. Additionally, the terrorists abducted Daw Soe Moe Htay (52 years old), who also lives in the ward, it is reported.
Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the death of the innocent civilian in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
