Ward Administrator Shot Dead by So-Called PDF Terrorists in Chauk 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 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 4 December 2025 at 3:45 PM, while U Htway Aung Naing (62 years old), a ward administrator and a resident of No. 5 Ward in Chauk Township of Magway Region, was at his house, four so-called PDF terrorists arriving by two motorcycles and opened fire on him. As a result, U Htway Naing 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.
