The Arakha Army (AA) has completely captured the Inn
Din 6th border guard police battalion on the Maungdaw-Ah Ngu Maw road in Arakan
State, said reliable sources.
"There are casualties among the border guard
personnel. Many of them also fled from the camp. Some surrendered with their
weapons. Most of them ran to the sea and some were caught. Now the AA fighters
are conducting a clearance operation," added the source.
The Inn Din 6th border guard police battalion is a
significant military installation located in the southern part of Maungdaw.
The military base, situated between Maungdaw and
Rathedaung townships, housed around 600 junta soldiers.
The AA fighters had however faced multiple airstrikes
from jet fighters and naval artillery support.
"To prevent fall of the battalion, the junta's
navy in Inn Din sea continuously fired artillery shells. They also conducted
airstrikes with jet fighters. However, the AA fighters managed to
succeed," said a resident.
After the AA fighters captured the junta's border
guard camps situated in south Maungdaw including three border guard camps near
Kyauk Pan Du village and Jin Taw camp on 3 June, they launched an offensive
against Inn Din 6th border guard police battalion and Myin Hlut 9th border
guard police battalion. They succeeded in capturing the Inn Din police
battalion.
After the capture of Myin Hlut 9th border guard police
battalion in south Maungdaw, few bases like Mawyawadi tactical operation
command, 4th border guard police battalion, Area-7 Ah Lel Than Kyaw camp, etc
will remain to be targeted.
The AA commander-in-chief general Twan Mrat Naing
recently stated in a media interview that their fighters will simultaneously
launch offensives against all remaining battalions and headquarters of the
military junta in the Arakan region.
