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 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 3:00 AM, Village Administrator U San Maung (63 years old), a resident of Wah Yone Kone Village in Natmauk Township of Magway Region, was at his house with family when five so-called PDF terrorists arriving by five motorcycles and opened fire on him. As a result, U San Maung 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.
