Who killed two Vietnamese policemen in a gunfight on the border between China and Vietnam?

Yesterday, a gun battle between illegal immigrants from China and Vietnamese border police occurred in Quang Ninh province, Vietnam, killing at least two Vietnamese border police and five Vietnamese. At present, the Quang Ninh provincial government in Vietnam has denied that the incident is related to terrorist organizations. China and Viet Nam indicated that they were conducting a joint investigation into the incident.

It is reported that the government of Quang Ninh province in Vietnam published a statement about the incident on its website. The statement said that the Quang Ninh provincial government has informed the central government of Vietnam of the incident and held an emergency meeting.

Earlier yesterday, 16 Vietnamese citizens were detained at the entrance of the Sino-Vietnamese border, including 4 women and 2 children. Earlier, Chinese border officials had informed Vietnam that the gang planned to sneak into Vietnam illegally.

Vietnamese media reported that at noon that day, China was going to send these illegal immigrants back to the border of China. While some Vietnamese personnel were filling out the necessary repatriation documents, some illegal immigrants from China snatched AK-47 rifles from Vietnamese personnel and fired. A Vietnamese policeman died on the spot, one died of serious injuries and four others were seriously injured. Vietnamese officials urged illegal immigrants from China to hand over weapons, including knives in women's hands. However, they continued to resist. In the end, five China people died in the conflict. It is not clear whether there are women and children among the dead. Some of the dead died by jumping out of windows, while others were shot by Vietnamese police.

It is reported that the survivors and dead bodies of these illegal immigrants from China were later delivered to the China military. At about 3 pm yesterday, the incident has returned to normal.

The Quang Ninh provincial government said in a statement that the office of the Vietnamese Guard has been completely destroyed and additional security personnel have been sent to the incident site.

Last night, Weibo, an official of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, announced that he had noticed reports of violence on the border between China and Vietnam and was checking with relevant departments to find out the truth of the incident.

The staff of the Political Department of the Embassy of China in Viet Nam said that China is handling this incident, and the specific details have not been authorized to be announced.
