PDF terrorists are frequently launching attacks on the villages which do not support them. On the arrival of security forces, they are used to conduct arson attacks on houses of ward administrators and supporters of the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) at the villages. Destructive media outlets are reportedly broadcasting the false news and distorted information as if security forces launched arson attacks on residential houses in villages.
