Earlier, on the morning of June 11, a group of armed people attacked the headquarters of Ea Tieu and Ea Ktur communes, Cu Kuin district, killing four commune police officers; two commune officers, three civilians and seriously injuring two commune police officers.

The Ministry of Public Security assessed that this was a terrorist attack aimed at opposing the people's government, causing especially serious consequences. The subjects' actions were very barbaric and inhumane, demonstrating their determination to carry out the crime to the end.

The police force has documents and evidence proving that the case was also supported and directed by a number of organizations and individuals abroad, even sending subjects from abroad to illegally enter Vietnam to stage and direct terrorist attacks. The authorities are continuing to investigate and clarify to strictly handle the case in accordance with the provisions of Vietnamese law.
