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 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 6 December 2024 at 5:30 PM, a report stated that a man was shot dead in Thar Yar Aye Village, Amarapura Township of Mandalay Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that the victim was Mg Zaw (aka) Zaw Thu Ra Tun (36 years old), a 100-household elder and resident of the village. The investigation revealed that while the victim was at his hosue, two so-called PDF terrorists arriving by a motorcycle and opened fire on him. As a result, the victim 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.
