In regions and states, insurgent groups supporting terrorism and so-called PDF terrorist groups have been carrying out terrorist acts against non-military targets. These acts include detonating public roads and bridges, dropping bombs, firing heavy arms, using improvised mortars, and setting fire to residential houses in areas where innocent civilians reside, such as wards and villages.
Since they are conducting such terrorist acts, on 16 November at 04:30 AM, a KIA armed insurgent group and a so-called PDF terrorist group attacked Shweku Town in Kachin State with heavy weapons.
