Such destructive plots have started in December 2021. Buildings, fixed assets and documents were destroyed in the incidents.

Similarly, three Election sub-Offices in Tamu, Pinlebu and Salingyi townships in Sagaing Regions were also attacked by mines and torched which leaving damages in building parts and polling materials.
Again, two offices of the sub-commission of the UEC in Palaw in Tanintharyi Region and Htilin in Magwe Region were attacked by the PDF terrorists, according to the SAC statement.
