A video released by the resistance group shows one of two resistance members on a motorbike shooting the junta administrator who was also on a motorbike.

Junta sympathizers have also been targeted by the resistance group. On Monday, its members shot dead a pro-junta Buddhist monk, but failed in their attempt to kill pro-junta Pyu Saw Htee militia member Tin Nyein, who also owned a coffee shop. He was accused of collecting information about the movements of revolutionary groups in Kinpun Chaung village in Kyaikhto Township.

During the assassination attempt, Tin Nyein was injured but escaped, Kyaikhto Revolution Force said. The monk was accused of wielding a pistol and oppressing civilians, the group said.
