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 18 September 2025 at 10:45 AM, a report stated that a man with gunshot wounds was admitted to Pyin Oo Lwin Township Public Hospital in Mandalay Region. When security personnel arrived at the hospital for further investigation, the victim was identified as U Tun Sein (58 years old), a resident of Par Poke/Khal Lon Village in Kyaukme Township of Shan State. The investigation revealed that the incident had occurred on 17 September 2025 at 4:00 PM, while the victim was at his sugar-cane plantation near the village, the Ta'ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) terrorist group arrived and opened fire on him, accusing him of being an “Informant” or “Decoy”, causing his injuries, it is reported.
Security personnel are persistently taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the aforementioned case, it is reported.
