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 10 June, 2024 at 12:35 PM, security personnel received a report that a woman had been shot dead in Nan Tel Village, Taungtha Township, Mandalay Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, they discovered that while Daw Tin Than (46 years old), a resident of the village, was in her house, two so-called PDF terrorists arrived by motorcycle and opened fire on her before fleeing. Consequently, Daw Tin Than died on the spot, 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.
