In some townships of States and Regions, armed terrorists, based on the one-sided ideology of extremism ‘Everyone who differs from my attitude is my enemy’, are committing violent attacks and assassinations by using knives, guns, grenades, home-made mines and IEDs against non-CDM staff after forcibly pressuring civil service personnel who are loyal to the State to join CDM as well as others who do not support their terrorist acts after accusing them of “Spy/ Informer/ Decoy (Dalan)” to make administrative officials, government employees and civilians who live peacefully, very frightened.
Since they are conducting such terrorist acts, on 6 July at 05:00 AM, according to the report indicated that a male and three females were injured by gunfire in Thamayoe Village of Wetlet Township, Sagaing Region, security personnel went to the scene to inspect.

Additionally, Daw Hnin Yi, 57 years old (Father) U Tin Ngwe, who also lives in this Village, was present on the Wetlet-Monywa Road located near the Village, when a so-called PDF terrorist group (total number-under scrutiny) entered the Village and recklessly opened fire within the Village. As a result, they all sustained injuries from gunfire and were transported to the Mandalay Public hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.
