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 civilian 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 11:15 PM, a report stated that a man was shot dead in Taw Kha Yan Ah Shae Village, Kungyangon Township of Yangon Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene to conduct further investigation, the victim was identified as U Tun Win Naing (46 years old), a resident of No.25 in Dagon Myothit (South) Township. He was attending a ceremony to hoist a new Holy Umbrella (a sacred regalia that adorns the crowns of pagodas) atop the “Mani Oak Shaung” Pagoda in Taw Kha Yan Ah Shae Village when a so-called PDF terrorist opened fire on him before fleeing. As a result, U Tun Win Naing 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.
