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 3 December 2024 at 10:55 AM, a report stated that a man was shot dead at the “Phyo Thu Kha” agrochemical shop in Zay Cho Myauk Ward, Gyobingauk Township of Bago Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that the victim was U Aung Tun (46 years old), a resident of Thegon Ward in Gyobingauk Township. While he was at his “Phyo Thu Kha” agrochemical shop, a so-called PDF terrorist arrived and opened fire on him. As a result, the victim died on the spot, it is reported.
Similarly, at 4:45 PM, a report stated that a man who had died from gunshot wounds had been brought to Thein Za Yat Station Hospital in Kyaikto Township of Mon State. When security personnel promptly arrived at the Hospital for further investigation, it was discovered that the victim was U Zay Yar Aung (40 years old), a resident of No.1 Ward in Thein Za Yat Town, Kyaikto Township. While travelling to Ah Htet Lu Lay Village, he was attacked by a so-called PDF terrorist group near the village cemetery, resulting in his death, it is reported.
Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the killings and assassinations of innocent civilians in the aforementioned cases, it is reported.
