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 7:30 AM, Village Administrator U Hla Aung (66 years old), a resident of Htoo Kone Village in Oakpho Township of Bago Region, was returning on his motorcycle from Htoo Chaung Village to his village. When he reached the road between Htoo Chaung Village and Htoo Kone Village, two so-called PDF terrorists, who had been following him on another motorcycle, opened fire on him. As a result, U Hla Aung 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.
