Innocent Civilian Stabbed to Death by So-Called PDF Terrorists in Mahlaing 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 21 April 2025 at 7:30 AM, a report stated that a man was stabbed to death near Ban Nar Soe Village in Mahlaing Township of Mandalay Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene to conduct further investigation, the victim was identified as U San Win (53 years old), a resident of the village. He was at his house when eight so-called PDF terrorists arriving by four motorcycles, abducted him, accusing him of being an “informant or decoy”. When the terrorists reached the Myin Twin- Ban Nar Soe intersection, west of the village, they stabbed him to death. As a result, U San Win died on the spot, it is reported.
    Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the killing of innocent civilian in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
