AA Launches Attacks on Chin Let Wa Camp, Mee Wa Tactical Command Base, and Point-313 Hill-Base Camp in Paletwa

The statement from the Three Brotherhood Alliance on January 1 at 11:50 PM indicated that the Arakan Army (AA) persisted in their efforts to fully capture the junta's Taung Shay mountain tactical operation command base near Tinma Village in Kyauktaw Township, Rakhine State.

In the statement, it was stated that the AA continued its efforts to fully capture the junta's Taung Shay mountain tactical operation command base. On January 1, around 9:00 AM, junta fighter jets dropped at least five bombs on the village and its vicinity. Furthermore, the base, along with the Kyauktaw-based 9th Military Operations Command (MOC-9), launched continuous artillery shell attacks. The base is also a site of war crimes, involving the arrest, killing, and use of local residents as human shields.

Furthermore, the statement pointed out that ongoing attacks are targeting several of the junta's camps. These include the Chin Let Wa camp and the Mee Wa tactical operation command base in Paletwa, as well as the Point-313 hill-based camp, which is located approximately 1,700 meters northeast of Paletwa Township. It is also reported that the remaining half of the junta's hill-based camp is also being targeted.

The statement also highlighted that the junta forces are fiercely defending their positions by employing jet fighters for airstrikes and indiscriminately firing artillery shells at all hours, while the AA persisted in its efforts to capture all these camps within a short timeframe.

Amidst today's conflict, three female civilians from Kan Htauk Wa were injured by shell shrapnel, as a result of junta forces firing artillery shells.

In Tigyaing Township, located in the Sagaing Region and known for AA members activity, the conflict has been persistent, with skirmishes taking place daily or every other day.
