Authorities in Vietnam have taken legal action following separate incidents of public disorder involving groups using weapons.

In Ho Chi Minh City, police indicted eight individuals, including rubber tappers, for “disturbing public order” and the “illegal use of military weapons” following a violent confrontation in Phu Giao commune. The dispute reportedly began after a drinking session.

In Hanoi, police detained eight teenagers, aged 17 to 20, after a clash occurred in the Khương Đình ward. Officers intervened during the disturbance on Bùi Xương Trạch street, where suspects were found using weapons such as knives and scissors.
