In the early morning of April 10 local time, at least 10 police officers were killed when Naungmon police posts in Laxu District, Shan State, Myanmar, were attacked by ethnic local armed groups (DMOF).
According to Reuters, a coalition of three local Wurakhine, De’ang and Kokang Allies in northern Myanmar launched an attack on the post on the Mandalay-Laxu Highway at 5:00 a.m. on the 10th. The building of the post burned down, killing at least 10 police officers and injuring many police families.
