Village Administrator Stabbed to Death by So-Called PDF Terrorist Group in Meiktila Township of Mandalay 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 12 August 2025 at 4:30 PM, a report stated that a man was stabbed to death in Ta Pyaw Village, Meiktila Township of Mandalay Region. When security personnel arrived at the scene for further investigation, the victim was identified as the Village Administrator, U Shwe Tin (67 years old), a resident of the village. At 4:25 PM, on the same day, while the victim was at his house, four so-called PDF terrorists arriving by two motorcycles, asked him, “Are you the Ta Pyaw Village Administrator?” and then stabbed him to death. As a result, U Shwe Tin 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.
