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 6 May 2025 at 7:40 AM, a report stated that three men were shot dead near Taung Gyar Ward in Thaton Township of Mon State. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene to conduct further investigation, the victims were identified as Ko Soe Pyae Htoo (23 years old), Ko Ar Pay Kaw (22 years old) and Ko Win Ko Oo (30 years old), all residents of the ward. When they were working in an upland field, a faction of pro-terrorism KNU members, along with so-called PDF terrorists arrived and opened fire on them. As a result, all three men died on the spot, it is reported.
Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
