100-Household Elder Shot Dead by So-Called PDF Terrorist Group in Taungdwingyi Township of Magway 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 24 October 2025, around 8:00 PM, while U Aung Shwe (47 years old), a 100-household elder and resident of Sin Chi Tain Village in Taungdwingyi Township of Magway Region, was at his house, a so-called PDF terrorist group arrived and opened fire on him, accusing him of being a “decoy”. As a result, U Aung Shwe 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.
