IT has been reported that PDF terrorists have been committing brutal killings in some townships across regions and states. They target innocent civilians, aiming to spread fear among the public by accusing those with differing views of being “informants or spies” and adopting an extremist mindset that labels anyone who does not align with them as an enemy. Using weapons such as batons, knives, and firearms, these armed terrorists have carried out ruthless attacks.

One such incident occurred at around 11:00 am on 15 February in Pakokku Township, Magway Region. PDF terrorist groups, with small arms, riding five motorcycles opened fire at a house in Kwetthit Ward, where people, including donor U Sithu Tun, were preparing meals for charity. The attack was allegedly motivated by the victims’ refusal to support the terrorists’ violent acts. As a result, 14-year-old Maung Pho Khwa was killed, and two other locals, including a six-year-old child named Maung Kyaw Moe, sustained injuries.

The deceased and the injured victims were taken to Pakokku People’s Hospital for necessary medical treatment. In response to this inhumane and brutal attack, security forces have launched an operation in the village and surrounding areas to track down and arrest the perpetrators as soon as possible.
