Ward Administrator Shot Dead, 100-Household Elder Injured by KNU and So-Called PDF Terrorists in Ye Township of Mon State

     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 28 September 2025 at 9:00 AM, the ward administrator U Kyaw Oo (46 years old) and a 100-household elder U Than (55 years old), both residents of No.1 Ward in La Mine Town, Ye Township of Mon State, were in front of U Kyaw Oo house. At that time, two terrorists from a combined group of KNU and so-called PDF terrorists arriving by motorcycle and opened fire on them, accusing them of being “decoys”. As a result, U Kyaw Oo died on the spot, while U Than sustained gunshot wounds. The deceased and the injured were transported to La Mine Station Hospital for examination and medical treatment, it is reported.

     Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the aforementioned case, it is reported.
