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 civil servants 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 1 June 2025 at 5:45 AM, a report stated that a man and a woman were shot dead near Wet Choke Village in Natmauk Township of Magway Region. When security personnel arrived at the scene for further investigation, they discovered that U Thaung Khin (59 years old) and his wife, Daw Than Nyunt (59 years old), a junior assistant teacher at the Basic Education Middle School in the village, both residents of the village, were at their house, five so-called PDF terrorists arriving by four motorcycles and abducted them. The terrorists took the couple to a location near the Natmauk-Yaenanchaung Road, approximately two miles west of the village, where they were shot and killed on the spot, it is reported.
Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the aforementioned case, it is reported.
