In Nga Tharauk town of Mandalay Region, Aung Soe, who had been working for the military forces, was killed in an attack this morning. The incident occurred on April 7 when resistance fighters entered his home shop in Nga Tharauk town and carried out the attack against Aung Soe, who was a member of the pro-military militia group that had been collaborating with the military forces and terrorizing local civilians. The attack was conducted by members of the Pagan Bilu resistance group, as confirmed by a spokesperson from the organization.
Aung Soe was a member of the so-called anti-terrorism militia group and had been actively working as an informant for the military, threatening and oppressing local civilians, according to local residents. The military council has been using such militia members to implement their operations in the region and maintain control through oppression of the civilian population. The Pagan Bilu group is an active resistance organization in the region that has been conducting operations against military council forces and their collaborators.
The Pagan Bilu group had previously issued warnings to administrators appointed by the military council to resign from their positions immediately and cooperate with the public. They had also announced that severe action would be taken against those administrators who refuse to cooperate and continue to work for the military council. This incident represents an implementation of those warnings against a military collaborator who failed to heed their notices. The group has maintained its stance of opposing the military council’s oppressive actions while defending civilian interests in the region.
