The General Inspector of Police of Chin State, Chief Tactical Commander of the military and Dristict Administrative Office of Chin State are reportedly due to arrive in Tedim following the explosion.

CNF spokesperson Dr. Sui Khar said, "This is obviously orchestrated by some entities or individuals who have misgivings about the recent NCA (Nation-wide Ceasefire Agreement) signing. Of course, there are a number of elements that might be to blame, but no one has taken responsibility for it."
