Man Shot Dead by So-Called PDF Terrorist Group in Paukkhaung Township of Bago 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 17 September 2025 at 9:50 AM, a report stated that a man was shot dead near Thike Chaung Village in Paukkhaung Township of Bago Region. When security personnel conducted further investigation, the victim was identified as U Tar Tee (50 years old), a resident of the village. The investigation revealed that the incident had occurred on 16 September 2025 at 10:00 PM, while the victim was in a hut in a forest located about one mile north of the village. At that time, a so-called PDF terrorist group arrived and opened fire on him, accusing him of being a “Decoy”. As a result, the victim 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.
