Administrative Official Recklessly Assassinated by Terrorists

Administrative Official Recklessly Assassinated by Terrorists

     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 14 February 2025 at 7:20 PM, a report stated that a man was shot dead between Mya Nadi Village and Aye Village in Myittar Township of Mandalay Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that U Tin Maung Swe (50 years old), a 100-household elder and resident of Chan Nyein Thar Village in Myittar Township, was returning home from Myawaddy Village on his motorcycle. While he passing between Mya Nadi Village and Aye Village, four so-called PDF terrorists who were followed him by two motorcycles, opened fire on him. As a result, he died on the spot, it is reported. 

     Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the killing and assassination of administrative official in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
