Village Administrator Shot Dead by So-Called PDF Terrorists in Mahlaing Township of Mandalay Region

     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 14 December 2025, at 8:45 AM, while U Maung Tun (66 years old), the village administrator and a resident of Phyauk Seik Kone Village in Mahlaing Township of Mandalay Region, was on his way to a shop within the village, four so-called PDF terrorists arriving by two motorcycles and opened fire on him at the village’s main crossroads. As a result, U Maung Tun 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.
