Innocent Civilian Assassinated by Armed Terrorists in Pwintphyu Township of Magway 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 14 March 2025 at 12:40 PM, a report stated that a man was shot dead near Tha Na Wa Village in Pwintphyu Township of Magway Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene for further investigation, it was discovered that Ko Nyein Thu (29 years old), a resident of the village, was on his way to Pha Lan Kyin Village. When he approached a bean field approximately one furlong west of his village, around 20 so-called PDF terrorists opened fire on him. As a result, Ko Nyein Thu died on the spot, it is reported.

          Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the killing and the assassination of innocent civilian in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
