Innocent Civilian Killed by Terrorists in Meiktila Township of Mandalay Region

     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 27 March 2025 at 12:15 AM, a report stated that a man was opened fire and stabbed to death in Wah Thone Taw Village, Meiktila Township of Mandalay Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene to conduct further investigation, they identified the victim as U Win Myint (67 years old), a resident of the village. He was at his house when three so-called PDF terrorists arriving by motorcycle, opened fire and stabbed him. As a result, U Win Myint died on the spot, it is reported.
     Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the killing and the assassination of innocent civilian in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
