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 23 May, 2024 at 7:50 PM, a report stated that a man was killed and another was injured by gunfire in Awzar Taw Village, Chauk Township, Magway Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that while U Kyaw Htay (66 years) and U Hla Myint (aka) Maung Htike (47 years), who both live in the village, were at U Kyaw Htay’s house, two so-called PDF terrorists arrived and opened fire on them. Additionally, the terrorists robbed a gold ring, a mobile phone and two motorcycles from the house and then fled. Consequently, U Kyaw Htay died on the spot, while U Hla Myint (aka) Maung Htike sustained gunshot injuries. He was transported to Chauk Township Public Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.
Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the killings and assassinations of civilians in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
