Member of Public Security and Counter-Terrorism Team Shot Dead by KNU Terrorists and So-Called PDF Terrorists in Kyainseikgyi Township of Kayin State

     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 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 15 September 2025 at 5:50 PM, U Zaw Htet Aung (49 years old), a member of the Public Security and Counter-Terrorism Team and a resident of Kyar Inn Village in Kyainseikgyi Township of Kayin State, was shot dead by two terrorists near his village. In the incident, while the victim was returning home from his grocery store located next to the Kyainseikgyi-Mal Tha Yaw Road. When he reached the village, two terrorists from KNU and so-called PDF combined terrorist group arriving by motorcycle, opened fire on him. As a result, U Zaw Htet Aung 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.
