The burned buildings included two elementary schools and village offices in Kelemame and Pasir Putih villages, Sinak District. Local police and the task force confirmed the attack after receiving reports from residents.

Authorities urge the public to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities to help maintain security in the region.
