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 8 June 2025 at 8:55 PM, a report stated that a man was injured by gunfire in Baw Di Kone Village, Pyawbwe Township of Mandalay Region. When security personnel arrived at the scene for further investigation, they discovered that U Htay Hlaing Thein (50 years old), 100-household elder and resident of the village, was at his house when two so-called PDF terrorists arriving by motorcycle and opened fire on him before fleeing. As a result, U Htay Hlaing Thein sustained gunshot wounds and was transported to Yan Aung Station Hospital for medical treatment, it is reported.
Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the aforementioned case, it is reported.
