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 4 June 2025 at 1:50 PM, a report stated that a man was shot dead in No.7 Ward, Myawaddy Township of Kayin State. When security personnel arrived at the scene for further investigation, they discovered that the victim was identified as ward administrator U Hla Win (65 years old) and resident of the ward. The incident occurred while he was at a religious hall in the ward, a so-called PDF terrorist arriving by car and opened fire on him. As a result, U Hla Win died on the spot, it is reported.
Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the aforementioned case, it is reported.
