Man Shot Dead, Woman Injured, Three Men Abducted by So-Called PDF Terrorists in Tada-U Township of Mandalay Region
23 July 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 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 22 July 2025 at 4:00 PM, a report stated that a man was shot dead, a woman was injured and three men were abducted by a so-called PDF terrorist group in Nyaung Pin Sauk Village, Tada-U Township of Mandalay Region. When security personnel conducted further investigation, they found that while U Ko Gyi (48 years old), his wife Daw Zin Mar San (48 years old) and their son, Ko Zin Ko (25 years old), all residents of the village, were at their house, a so-called PDF terrorist group arriving by car and opened fire on them. As a result, Ko Zin Ko died on the spot and Daw Zin Mar San sustained gunshot wounds. Additionally, U Ko Gyi and two other villagers, Ko Moe She (aka) Aung Soe (20 years old) and Ko Phoe Kyaw (aka) Zaw Min Thu (34 years old), were abducted by the terrorists. The terrorists took them toward Htan Pauk Kone Village located west of the village. The injured woman was transported to Tada-U Township Public 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.
