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 services, administrative officials, and innocent civilians who do not support their terrorist acts. Using firearms and knives, these terrorists are committing brutal assassination 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 15 May, 2024 at 8:50 AM, a report stated that a man was shot dead in Kywal Tal Village, Pakokku Township, Magway Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that while U Aung Thu (39 years old), a Village Group Administrator and resident of the village, was at his house, two so-called PDF terrorists arrived by motorcycle, opened fire on him, and fled. As a result, U Aung Thu died on the spot with gunshot wounds, it is reported.
Similarly, at 6:30 PM on the same day, a 10-household elder, U Sit Naing who lived in Dawei Village, Bago Township, Bago Region, was shopping at a shop within the village when 10 so-called PDF terrorists arrived by five motorcycles and opened fire on him. As a result, U Sit Naing 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 two administrative officials in the aforementioned cases, it is reported.
