Retaliatory attack by the Arakan Army

 Mr.Khaing Thu Kha, spokesperson of Arakan Army told Arakan Princess Media that Arakan Army retaliated by attacking the Myanmar Army on 18/7/2022 in Maungdaw Township. The reason why Arakan Army retaliated against Myanmar Army was that Arakan Army's camp was bombed by Myanmar Army in Karen State a few weeks ago.

The first attack of retaliation occurred in the morning at 9:00 o'clock in Rakhay Payi village and the second attack was followed at 10:30 am.

During the period of fighting, Arakan Army captures 14 enemies consisting Myanmar border guards polices and infantry soldiers. Amongst the all, there is police commander who surrenders and Arakan Army seizes a lot of ammunitions, two pistols, 24 assault rifles and some military equipment.

As soon as possible, Myanmar Army reinforced its troops to where Arakan Army's attacks had taken place and fired Artillery shells in all directions at random until the sun went down.

Elsewhere, villagers were forced to flee as the enemy entered the villages with complete weapons.

 Because of this,  Arakan Army is keeping a close eye on the enemy and there will likely be fierce fighting between Arakan Army and Myanmar Army anytime soon.
