Innocent Civilian Shot Dead by So-Called PDF Terrorists in Yedashe Township of Bago 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 2 May 2025 at 5:30 AM, a report stated that a man was shot dead in In Dine Village, Yedashe Township of Bago Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene to conduct further investigation, the victim was identified as U Khin Maung Nyut (aka) Sit Taung Maung (56 years old), a resident of the village. He was at his house when three so-called PDF terrorists arrived and opened fire on him. As a result, U Khin Maung Nyut (aka) Sit Taung Maung 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.
