Innocent Civilian Shot Dead by So-Called PDF Terrorists in Nyaung-U 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 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 20 June 2025 at 11:00 AM, a report stated that a man’s body with gunshot wounds was found on the roadside of the Khat Lan Kan Village Commutable Road, approximately five furlongs southeast of Taung Phat Tan Village in Nyaung-U Township of Mandalay Region. When security personnel arrived at the scene for further investigation, they discovered that the victim was identified as U Nyunt Hlaing (67 years old), a resident of the village. The incident occurred when six so-called PDF terrorists arrived at the victim’s house by three motorcycles and abducted him, accusing him of being an “informant or decoy”. The terrorists then took him to the roadside of the Khat Lan Kan Village Commutable Road, where they opened fire on him. As a result, U Nyunt Hlaing 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.
