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 17 May, 2024 at 3:45 PM, a report stated that a man was shot dead in Khyone Village, Madaya Township, Mandalay Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that while U Win Myint (59 years old), a resident of the village, was at his house, four so-called PDF terrorists arrived by two motorcycles and opened fire on him. As a result, U Win Myint died on the spot with gunshot wounds, it is reported.
Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the killings and assassinations of civilian in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
