Innocent Civilian Killed in Attack by So-Called PDF Terrorists in Minhla Township, 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 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 6 July 2025 at 9:30 AM, a report stated that a vehicle was attacked by a so-called PDF terrorist group near Lat Khot Pin Village in Minhla Township of Magway Region. When security personnel arrived at the scene for further investigation, they found a Vigo Double Cab (License Plate No. YGN-44/ 5S-XXXX) driven by U Hein Min Phyo (36 years old), accompanied by U Nyan Phyo Lin (45 years old), a District officer from the Thayat District Road Department and Daw Phyo Sandar Myo (44 years old), an accountant level-3. The vehicle was travelling from Thayat Town to Magway Town along the Thayat - Minhla - Magway road. When the vehicle arrived at an area between Lat Khot Pin Village and Myauk Myar Kone Village, a so-called PDF terrorist group opened fire on the vehicle. As a result, U Hein Min Phyo sustained gunshot wounds and was transported to Lin Kal Station Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries, it is reported.
    Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the aforementioned case, it is reported.
