  • Family of Four, Including Civil Servants and Child, Released from So-Called PDF Terrorist Group in Sagaing Township of Sagaing Region

Terrorist groups have been engaging in battles, carrying out attacks using heavy weapons, drones to drop bombs and improvised explosive devices across towns and villages in various states and regions. Moreover, they are committing inhumane acts of terror and criminal activities—including abducting and extorting money from civil servants' families and local civilians, as well as killings.
Since they are conducting such terrorist acts, on 7 June 2025 at 5:00 PM, a so-called PDF terrorist group arriving by a white-coloured LIGHT TRUCK (License Plate No. 8L/XXXX) abducted U Win Zaw Htway (40 years old), his wife, Daw Khine Zar Kyi Wai (37 years old), a deputy staff officer at Myinmu Township Agricultural Department, their daughter, Ma Ywun Wadi Oo (13 years old) and U Win Zaw Htway’s elder sister, Daw San Oo (52 years old), an junior assistant teacher from the Basic Education Middle School, all residents of Ywar Thit Gyi Village in Sagaing Township of Sagaing Region. The abduction occurred while they were shopping at the village market. Subsequently, without any questioning, the victims were confined in a room for about three nights. Later, the terrorists stated, ‘We arrested the wrong people; they must be released.’ On 10 June at 1:00 PM, they were transported back in the same light truck (License Plate No. 8L/XXXX) and released near Nat Kha Yine Village, it is reported.
Regarding the above incident, security personnel are continuing necessary operations in accordance with standard procedures to identify, apprehend and take action against the terrorists involved, it is reported.
