On 17 December, when security forces taking security measures in Katha township of Sagaing region arrived at Naungpin village, Moedargyi village and Haenar village (old village), KIA members and PDF terrorists launched attacks against the security forces by using heavy/small arms leading to a clash in which both sides exchanged fire. When terrorist groups retreated, they torched public houses in the village on their way, leaving about 11 houses in Naungpin village, about 43 houses in Moedargyi village and about 10 houses in Haenar village (old village) totaling 64 houses destroyed in fire. In 2022, KIA and PDF terrorists, for no reason, had burnt down 717 houses of 26 villages.
In collaboration with the KIA group, PDF terrorists who are subordinates of NUG and CRPH are carrying out various acts of terrorism, such as making arson and bomb attacks on public houses, departmental buildings, schools, roads, bridges, etc. Moreover, they are also carrying out the acts of vandalism in the villages. Therefore, local people are disgusted by their acts of terrorism.
The security forces are reportedly making necessary efforts to identify and arrest the terrorists who committed in the above-mentioned incidents in accordance with the law and they are also taking necessary security operations to have peace and stability for the area.
