Village Administrator Shot Dead by So-Called PDF Terrorists in Chauk Township of Magway Region

     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 administrative officials 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 24 May 2025 at 12:00 PM, a report stated that a man was shot dead in Ohm Myar Kyi Village, Chauk Township of Magway Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, they discovered that the victim was identified as Village Administrator, U Nay Win (68 years old), a resident of the village. The incident occurred while he was at the Aung Tha Pyay Dhamma Yeik Thar Monastery in the village, eight so-called PDF terrorists arriving by four motorcycles and opened fire on him. As a result, U Nay Win died on the spot, it is reported.
    Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the killing of administrative official in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
