08 June 2025

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 6 June 2025 at 8:00 PM, U Than Zaw (50 years old), a resident of Ohn Hnal Kone Village in Hlegu Township of Yangon Region, was at his house with his wife when three terrorists arrived and opened fire on him before fleeing. As a result, U Than Zaw died 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.
