Innocent Civilian Shot Dead by So-Called PDF Terrorists in Thegon 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 13 December 2025 at 3:30 PM, U Than Zaw (53 years old), a resident of Kyaung Su Village in Paungde Township of Bago Region, was on his way to Nyaung Pin Su Village in Thegon Township, six so-called PDF terrorists opened fire on him on the main road of Nyaung Pin Su Village. As a result, U Than Zaw 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.
