One Innocent Civilian Killed, Another Injured in Attack by So-Called PDF Terrorist in Bokepyin Township, 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 9 May 2025 at 8:30 AM, a report stated that a man was injured and a woman was shot dead in Aye Mya Thar Yar Village, Kara Thu Yi Town, Bokepyin Township of Tanintharyi Region. When security personnel promptly arrived at the scene to conduct further investigation, the victims were identified as U Zaw Khine Lin (51 years old) and his wife Daw May Yi Myint (aka) Daw Moe (48 years old) both residents of the village. The couple was at their house when a so-called PDF terrorist arrived and opened fire on them before fleeing the scene. As a result, Daw May Yi Myint (aka) Daw Moe died on the spot, while U Zaw Khine Lin sustained gunshot wounds. Both the deceased and the injured individuals were transported to Kara Thu Yi Station Hospital for examination and medical treatment, it is reported. 
    Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible in the aforementioned case, it is reported.
