Innocent Civilians Recklessly Assassinated by So-called PDF 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 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 17 January 2025 at 9:00 AM, a report stated that a man with gunshot injuries had been admitted to the Palaw Township Public Hospital of Tanintharyi Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the Hospital for further investigation, it was discovered that the victim was U Kyaw Naing (59 years old), a resident of Shat Pon Village in Palaw Township. While the victim was at the “Pe Ti Aung” snack shop in the village, five so-called PDF terrorists arriving by three motorcycles and opened fire on him before fleeing. As a result, the victim sustained gunshot injuries, it is reported.
     Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the killing and assassination of innocent civilians in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
