On 23 December in Kalae township of Sagaing region, security forces taking security measures in Natchaung village to ensure the local people live in peaceful and stable environment were attacked by so-called CNF and PDF terrorists for no reasons.
In the incident, about 300 so-called CNF and PDF terrorists using heavy and small arms opened fire at the security forces who were taking security measures in the Natchaung village. As the security forces had to retaliate attacks against them, the terrorists retreated to the west of the village in disarray. Security forces then confiscated nine dead bodies, one damaged RPG, one IED, 250 electric detonators, 400 dynamite detonators, four coils of detonator cord (50 metres each) at the scene.
Security forces are reportedly speeding up the security measures so that the terrorists can no longer stay in some villages and commit violent acts and people are also urged to cooperate in such measures.
