Innocent Civilian Sustains Gunshot Wounds in Attack by So-Called PDF Terrorists in Palaw Township of Tanintharyi 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 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 28 May 2025 at 11:00 AM, a report stated that a man with gunshot wounds was admitted to Palauk Station Hospital in Palaw Township of Tanintharyi Region. When security personnel arrived at the hospital for further investigation, they discovered that the victim was identified as U Maung Lay (63 years old), a resident of Sin Htoe Gyi Village in Palaw Township. The incident occurred while he was on his way to his orchard, located next to the Dawei-Myeik Road between Sin Htoe Gyi Village and Kyauk Taung Village. When he arrived in front of the orchard, 10 so-called PDF terrorists who had already been present inside the orchard, opened fire on him, resulting in his injuries, it is reported.
    Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the aforementioned case, it is reported.
