Local authorities have implemented many measures to stabilize the situation, promptly visit and support families with deceased or injured people; inform and encourage people to stay calm, not panic, and follow the instructions of authorities.

The Provincial Party Committee, People's Council, People's Committee, and Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee strongly condemn the acts of attacking state agencies, killing people, and seriously violating the law committed by the group of subjects; at the same time, we would like to share the pain and great loss of the families of the police officers, officials, and people.

The Provincial Party Committee, People's Council, People's Committee, and Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Dak Lak province call on the people, comrades, and soldiers in the province to unite, believe in the Party's guidelines and policies, the leadership of Party committees, and the administration of authorities at all levels; actively participate in the movement "All people protect national security", promote the strength of the all-people national defense posture associated with solid people's security; coordinate and support functional forces in performing their duties; join hands to help and share the loss and pain with the families of police officers, cadres, and people who were victims; work and produce with peace of mind, contributing to the stability and development of the locality.

Citizens, comrades and soldiers should not post or share unverified information on social networks that could affect the performance of duties by functional forces and cause panic and anxiety among the people; heighten vigilance, absolutely “do not listen to, do not believe, do not follow” reactionary elements and hostile forces that take advantage of the situation to distort and incite opposition to local authorities, causing political insecurity in the area.
