PDF terrorists shot and killed an innocent civilian and abducted a civil servant along with two citizens in Mahlaing Township, Mandalay Region, on 11 June.

About 20 armed terrorists arrived at Pann Ai Village in a vehicle and five motorcycles, where they shot U Zaw Myo Thet (aka) Ko Thet, aged 47, at his own betel shop near Shwe Muhtaw Pagoda. He died on the spot from multiple gunshot wounds. The group then abducted Daw Khin Myint Htwe, a senior clerk from the Myanmar Agricultural Development Bank and two civilians: U Kyaw Thet aged 55, and U Thet Naing Oo (aka) Nga Thet, aged 47, before fleeing towards Thanbothanntan Village in Taungtha Township.

Security forces are continuing necessary measures to rescue the abductees and take action against the terrorists, who were committing inhumane acts of violence.
