Following an offensive, the key Taw Hein Taung tactical operation command and
Swae Chaung tactical operation command based in Ann township of Rakhine State,
where the western command is located, were captured by the Arakha Army (AA)
fighters.
The captured Swae Chaung tactical operation
command housed around 300 junta soldiers and it fell on 26 April.
On the other hand, Taw Hein Taung tactical operation command with around 600
soldiers was captured on 28 April.
“We have received information that the Swae Chaung command base was captured
after a heavy casualty among the soldiers. When Taw Hein Taung was seized
around 400 individuals, including soldiers and their family members were
trapped and many fled towards the town areas," a reliable source informed
Narinjara News.
The AA is yet to disclose information about the
captures of both the command bases. Intense clashes between the junta forces
and AA fighters took place in Mel Let Maung and Kyat Yae San areas and
the fighting continued till Tuesday.
The junta forces are trying to transport necessary
supplies to the western command through the Ann-Padan road despite it
being closed by the AA. Recently, the AA checkpoints on the road prevented some
trucks from delivering their supplies to the western command.
On 30 April, the AA checkpoint intercepted 26 trucks loaded with food supplies.
Those trucks from Magway were loaded with items meant for the western command
at Ngape township, which is adjacent to Ann locality, added the source.
