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 administrative officials and 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 6 May 2025 at 6:45 AM, a report stated that two men were shot dead near Aie Ma Village in Minbu Township of Magway Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene to conduct further investigation, they found that U Win Htay (62 years old), a sub-village in-charge and resident of Aie Ma Village U Phoe Tin (55 years old) and his wife, Daw Mya Than Aye (52 years old), both residents of Oae Byin Mal Village. When they were at their respective houses, a so-called PDF terrorist faction arrived and abducted the three individuals. The terrorists then took them near Man Chaung Bridge, where they opened fire on U Win Htay and U Phoe Tin, resulting in both men dying on the spot. Daw Mya Than Aye was taken away by the terrorists, it is reported.
Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
