Innocent Civilian Shot Dead by So-Called PDF Terrorist Group in Tada-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 17 August 2025 at 9:50 AM, a report stated that a man was shot dead in Gway Saung Village, Tada-U Township of Mandalay Region. When security personnel arrived at the scene for further investigation, the victim was identified as U Win Oo (55 years old), a resident of the village. The incident occurred while the victim was at his “Mya Yadanar” restaurant in the village, six so-called PDF terrorists arriving by Hijet vehicle and opened fire on him in front of the restaurant, accusing him of being an “Informant or Decoy”. As a result, U Win Oo 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.
