AA increases security measures to prevent ARSA and RSO insurgent infiltration along the border<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>September 20<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Arakan Army (AA) announced that it will step up security measures to prevent and eliminate terrorist activities by&nbsp;<strong>ARSA (Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army)<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>RSO (Rohingya Solidarity Organization)<\/strong>&nbsp;insurgents, who have established footholds inside Bangladesh and are attempting to infiltrate across the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to AA, these armed insurgent groups have been carrying out killings targeting&nbsp;<strong>non-Muslim civilians<\/strong>&nbsp;in border areas, prompting a security warning urging residents to remain vigilant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At present, in areas of Rakhine State seized and controlled by the Arakan Army, the organization is carrying out both&nbsp;<strong>public administrative services<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>security responsibilities<\/strong>, while simultaneously resisting counteroffensives launched by the junta\u2019s military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this situation, ARSA and RSO fighters have taken advantage of gaps in security to infiltrate through&nbsp;<strong>Nat River and Mayu Mountain routes<\/strong>&nbsp;into&nbsp;<strong>Maungdaw District<\/strong>&nbsp;from bases inside Bangladesh, according to a statement from the United League of Arakan\/Arakan Army (ULA\/AA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ULA\/AA further warned that these extremist Islamic groups, having entered Maungdaw District, are ambushing civilians\u2014especially non-Muslims\u2014who go into remote forests and hills to gather vegetables, cut firewood, or go shopping. Recent days have seen continued incidents of&nbsp;<strong>shootings, abductions, and killings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, AA reported that extremist groups are also fabricating&nbsp;<strong>false battle scenes<\/strong>&nbsp;that resemble clashes with the Arakan Army, using such propaganda to rally greater support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One tactic noted was the&nbsp;<strong>abduction and killing of non-Muslim Rakhine civilians<\/strong>&nbsp;in remote areas, dressing the victims in AA uniforms, and then spreading manipulated photos and reports on social media. This, the AA says, is designed to deceive international observers and secure more sympathy, support, and funding for these extremist groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because ARSA and RSO are threatening the&nbsp;<strong>lives, homes, and property of the Arakan people living in the Rakhine-Bangladesh border region<\/strong>, the Arakan Army has warned local people that this is a time to remain extremely vigilant regarding personal security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They urged civilians living in these border areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To avoid traveling alone or in very small groups into forests, mountains, or remote areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If travel is necessary for health reasons or other urgent matters, to first inform and coordinate with the nearest\u00a0<strong>administrative and security units<\/strong>\u00a0of the Arakan People\u2019s Revolutionary Government.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The AA also called on all Arakan civilians living along the Rakhine-Bangladesh border to actively&nbsp;<strong>cooperate with ULA\/AA<\/strong>&nbsp;in addressing these threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At present, the ULA\/AA stated it is engaged in&nbsp;<strong>daily defensive operations<\/strong>&nbsp;in Rakhine and surrounding areas against the junta\u2019s counteroffensives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>========================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udea9\ud83d\udea9&nbsp;<strong>2.

This also led to repeated clashes with resistance forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On&nbsp;<strong>September 7<\/strong>, the junta\u2019s Namyin Command Headquarters in Monywa sent&nbsp;<strong>over 300 reinforcements<\/strong>&nbsp;to Tayar Kyin Village to assist the trapped troops at Chaung Ma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the reinforcements were intercepted and besieged by joint forces including&nbsp;<strong>Yanmar Bin District Pa Ka Pha, Yanmar Bin Township Pa Ka Pha, Sarlingyi Pa Ka Pha, Yanmar Bin District Strategy Unit-47, and Yanmar Bin District Battalion-1<\/strong>. The junta column was prevented from advancing further and became encircled by resistance forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On&nbsp;<strong>September 11<\/strong>, revolutionary forces in Ka Ni Township, supported by Pa Ka Pha assault teams,&nbsp;<strong>BLDF, BNRA<\/strong>, and allied units, launched a major attack on the trapped junta troops in Chaung Ma Village. Despite support from&nbsp;<strong>Y-12 transport aircraft and jet fighters<\/strong>, the junta forces were forced to retreat from the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As they withdrew, they were ambushed again by resistance forces. During this engagement, junta airstrikes struck the battlefield, killing&nbsp;<strong>Ko Naing Min, the deputy commander of Yanmar Bin Township Pa Ka Pha<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resistance groups reported that during the&nbsp;<strong>13 days of fighting<\/strong>, they managed to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kill at least\u00a0<strong>12 junta soldiers<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seize\u00a0<strong>six rifles<\/strong>\u00a0from ambush operations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Capture\u00a0<strong>10 bodies of junta soldiers, seven firearms of various types, and military supplies<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, during the battle, junta forces launched&nbsp;<strong>120mm and Howitzer shells<\/strong>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<strong>Na Ma Kha (Monywa), Kyauksit Pon\u2019s AMaTa-508, and Aung Zeya Kyikukone<\/strong>, killing&nbsp;<strong>five civilians, including two children<\/strong>, and injuring&nbsp;<strong>15 others<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>========================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udea9\ud83d\udea9&nbsp;<strong>3.

At least three junta soldiers were killed, and several others were injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the checkpoint is located on the main road linking&nbsp;<strong>Zardi and Kanpauk<\/strong>, junta forces fired heavy weapons into surrounding areas.
