Innocent Civilian Shot Dead by So-Called PDF Terrorists in Aunglan Township of Magway 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 23 April 2025 at 3:30 PM, a report stated that a man was shot dead in Ka Zun Inn Village, Aunglan Township of Magway Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene to conduct further investigation, the victim was identified as U Kyi Hlaing (50 years old), a resident of the village. He was at his house when approximately 20 so-called PDF terrorists arriving by 10 motorcycles and opened fire on him. As a result, U Kyi Hlaing died on the spot, it is reported.
    Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for killing the innocent civilian in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
