Gun violence is extremely uncommon in Vietnam, where it is illegal for citizens to own firearms and the black market for weapons is limited.
In the early morning of June 11, a group of people riding motorbikes used guns and other weapons to attack the headquarters of the people's committee and the offices of police in Cu Kuin district of Dak Lak province."This was an act of terrorism against the people's administration, causing especially serious consequences," the Ministry of Public Security said in an online statement Friday.
Police have confiscated a total of 23 guns and rifles, two grenades, 1,199 bullets and other explosive devices, describing the attacks as"barbaric and inhumane". The Central Highlands, home to a number of ethnic minorities, is considered a sensitive area for Vietnam's authoritarian government and has long been a hotbed of discontent over issues that include land rights.
