Innocent Civilians Recklessly Shot Dead by So-called PDF Terrorists

     In some townships across States and Regions, armed terrorists motivated by a radical ideology that views “anyone with differing views is an enemy” are conducting violent assaults and assassinations. Their targets are civil servants, administrative officials and 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 28 June, 2024 at 2:40 PM, Village Administrator U Myint Maung (63 years old) Daw Thin Thin Soe (38 years old) and U Kyaw Min Lwin (45 years old) all residents of Khyo Chaung Village in Taungdwingyi Township, Magway Region, were travelling in a DUTRO vehicle (License Plate No. 3D/XXXX) from Taungwingyi Town to Khyo Chaung Village along the Taungdwin-Koe Pin Road. When they arrived near Yae Pyae Village, two so-called PDF terrorists ambushed them, opening fire before fleeing the scene. Consequently, U Kyaw Min Lwin succumbed to his injuries on the spot, while Daw Thin Thin Soe sustained gunshot wounds. Both the injured person and deceased were transported to Taungdwingyi Township Public Hospital for medical treatment and examination, it is reported.

     Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the killings and assassinations of innocent civilians in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
