A man was killed in an assassination attempt by two terrorists dressed in PPE in Hline Township, Yangon Region yesterday afternoon.
Terrorist extremists are targeting areas that are under the COVID-19 disease control, ignoring the humanitarian acts and the pandemic. In addition, they are approaching innocent civilians by pretending to be volunteers in relief work, wearing a PPE and carrying out brutal assassinations.
Yesterday afternoon at around 1:05 pm, two men dressed in PPE came to the shop of U San Lin and wife Daw Thida on Otekyin Butayon street, (16) ward, Hline Township, pretending to be buying cold drinks, and shot them. U San Lin was shot in the left chest, right arm and left thigh, and Daw Thida shot in the left arm and the left chest, respectively.
U San Lin has died of his injuries while being taken to a Tatmadaw hospital by security forces. It is reported that security forces are conducting a detailed investigation to take action against the terrorists.—MNA
