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 5 May 2025 at 10:00 AM, a report stated that a woman with gunshot wounds was admitted to Mandalay Public Hospital in Chanayetharzan Township of Mandalay Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the hospital to conduct further investigation, the victim was identified as Daw Thu Zar Tun (40 years old), a resident of Ywar Htaung Ward in Sagaing Township of Sagaing Region. She was travelling from Kan Ta Lu Village to Sagaing Town. When she arrived near Kan Ta Lu Village, a so-called PDF terrorist faction opened fire on her, causing injuries, it is reported.
Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
