The Arakan
Army (AA) intensified its offensive against the battalion headquarters located
in Rathedaung township of Rakhine State.
The AA
fighters launched an offensive against the Rathedaung-based 536th light
infantry battalion, 537th light infantry battalion and 538th light infantry
battalion on Sunday evening, said an AA statement.
It also
added that regular offensives were carried out in certain areas which were also
previously targeted.
The junta
forces, who abandoned the Aung Tha Pyay border guard post in northern Maungdaw
township, were engaged in combat with the AA fighters. The intense clashes
persisted for hours.
The AA also pursued and eliminated
these columns, which caused the Border Guard Police (BGP) personnel to desert
their camp and flee into Bangladesh.
Bangladeshi media outlets
reported that over a hundred BGP personnel fled into their
territory. Till Monday evening, 29 BGP personnel fled to Bangladesh,
reported the Dhaka-based media outlets.
