Innocent Civilian Shot Dead by So-Called PDF Terrorists in Ayardaw Township of Sagaing 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 20 June 2025 at 8:35 AM, a report stated that a man was shot dead on the roadside of the Ayardaw-Shwebo Road near the Thein Taw Kan Pagoda in No.3 Ward, Ayardaw Township of Sagaing Region. When security personnel arrived at the scene for further investigation, they discovered that the victim was identified as U Aung Naing Oo (aka) U Aung (63 years old), a resident of the ward. The incident occurred when the victim was cleaning with lawnmower within the campus near the pagoda, two so-called PDF terrorists arriving by motorcycle and opened fire on him before fleeing. As a result, U Aung Naing Oo (aka) U 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.
