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 26 April 2025 at 4:45 PM, U Ba Soe Kyi (65 years old), a resident of Ku Tho Village in Dawei Township, was returning to his village on his New Holland tractor from Shin Mote Htee Village. When he arrived near the Shin Mote Htee toll gate, located between Ka Nine Dar Village and Shin Mote Htee, two so-called PDF terrorists opened fire on him. As a result, U Ba Soe Kyi 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.
An innocent civilian was shot dead by so-called PDF terrorists in Dawei Township of Tanintharyi Region.
