Administrative officials and innocent civilians were killed by so-called PDF terrorists using knives and guns 

     In some townships across States and Regions, armed terrorists driven by a radicalized ideology that considers 'Anyone with differing views is an enemy' are carrying out violent assaults and assassinations. Their targets include civil services, administrative officials and innocent civilians who do not endorse their terrorist activities. Using firearms and knives, they accuse these individuals of being 'spies,' 'informants,' or 'decoys' to instill fear among peace-seeking civilians, causing a pervasive sense of dread within these communities.

     Since they are conducting such terrorist acts, on 21 April, 2024 at 8:30 AM, a 100-household elder, U San Myint (57 years old), who lived in Yaepawkhunkalay Village, Salin Township, Magway Region, was detained in his house by eight so-called PDF terrorists on five motorcycles. Later, near the bullock cart road on the outskirts of the village, they attacked him with knives, stabbing and slashing him. As a result, U San Myint died from knife injuries, it is reported.

     Similarly, at 8:40 AM, a report stated that two men were found dead with gunshot injuries near Bokone Village, Madaya Township, Mandalay Region. Security personnel promptly arrived at the scene and conducted an inspection. During the investigation, it was found that two men, approximately 35 and 40 years old bodies in a canal near the village, and determined that they had been killed by gunfire from a terrorist group. The deceased were then transported to the Madaya Township Public Hospital for examination, it is reported.

     Security personnel are persistently undertaking essential measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for killings and assassinations of administrative official and innocent civilians in the abovementioned cases, it is reported.
