    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 26 July 2025 at 5:30 PM, a report stated that two men were shot dead in Pa Tein Yoe Village, Thaton Township of Mon State. When security personnel arrived at the scene for further investigation, the victims were identified as U Than Zaw Oo (38 years old) and U Aung Ko Win (37 years old), both members of the Public Security and Counter-Terrorism Team and residents of Taung Zun Village in Thaton Township. The incident occurred while the victims were returning to their village after shopping at the “May Oo” grocery store in Pa Tein Yoe Village. When they reached an area near the Sub Basic Education High School in the village, three individuals of pro-terrorism KNU members and so-called PDF terrorists arriving by a motorcycle and opened fire on them. As a result, both men 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.
