Innocent Civilians Recklessly Assassinated by So-called PDF Terrorists

     In some townships across States and Regions, so-called PDF 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 servants, administrative officials and 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 7 September, 2024 at 6:30 AM, a report stated that a woman shot dead in Nan Tel Village, Taungtha Township of Mandalay Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that the victim was Daw Kyu (aka) Daw Kyu Kyu (55 years old), a resident of the village. When she was at her house, around 10 so-called PDF terrorists, arriving by five motorcycles, accused her of being an “Informant/ Decoy” and took her in front of the Sub-Basic Education High School in the village. The terrorists then opened fire on Daw Kyu (aka) Daw Kyu Kyu. As a result, she died on the spot. Additionally, the terrorists set fire to the house of Village Administrator U Aung Myint Maw (50 years old), also a resident of the village, it is reported.

     Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the killings and assassinations of innocent civilians in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
