Township Sub-Election Commission Member Abducted by So-Called PDF Terrorist Group in Salin Township of Magway Region

     Terrorist groups have been engaging in battles, carrying out attacks using heavy weapons, drones to drop bombs and improvised explosive devices across towns and villages in various states and regions. Moreover, they are committing inhumane acts of terror and criminal activities—including abducting and extorting money from local civilians and also election commission members, as well as killings.

     Since they are conducting such terrorist acts, on 31 October 2025 at 1:40 PM, U Thet Wai Tun (44 years old), a No. (1) member of the Township Sub-Election Commission and a resident of Myay Mi Kone Ward in Salin Township of Magway Region, was travelling by motorcycle from Salin Town to Sin Phyu Kyun Town. Around  when he reached an area locally known as the Soke Lay Oo crossroads, a so-called PDF terrorist group forced him to stop and abducted him, it is reported. 

     Regarding the above incident, security personnel are continuing necessary operations in accordance with standard procedures to identify, apprehend and take action against the terrorists involved, it is reported.
