Village Administrator Shot Dead by So-Called PDF Terrorists in Letpadan 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 administrative officials 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 27 May 2025 at 12:50 PM, a report stated that a man was shot dead in Myay See Village, Letpadan Township of Bago Region. When security personnel arrived at the scene for further investigation, they discovered that the victim was identified as Village Administrator U Chit Lin Ko (35 years old), a resident of the village. The incident occurred when he was at his house, three so-called PDF terrorists arriving by two motorcycles and opened fire on him. As a result, U Chit Lin Ko died on the spot. Additionally, the terrorists took a motorcycle from the house, it is reported.

     Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the aforementioned case, it is reported.
