Village Administrator Shot Dead by So-Called PDF Terrorists in Ngazun Township of Mandalay 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 13 May 2025 at 7:30 AM, a report stated that a man was shot dead near Jyoun Kan (East) Village in Ngazun Township of Mandalay Region. When security personnel conducted further investigation, they discovered that the victim was identified as Village Administrator, U Tun Tun Oo (54 years old), a resident of Shwe Taung Village in Ngazun Township. The incident occurred while he was returning from Kyat Pyin Village to his village. Upon reaching Jyoun Kan (East) Village, 10 so-called PDF terrorists who had been following him on five motorcycles, opened fire on him. As a result, U Tun Tun Oo died on the spot, it is reported.
     Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the aforementioned case, it is reported.
