The Arakan Army (AA) announced on Sunday that its members had finally taken over the last uncaptured Border Guard Police (BGP) base on the Bangladesh-Myanmar border, located in Rakhine State’s Maungdaw Township.
“On December 8 at 9:30am, the AA successfully captured and neutralised the last remaining outpost of the military junta,” spokespersons for Rakhine State’s most powerful ethnic armed group said in a press release.
Due to its importance for controlling the border, the AA and junta forces have been fighting over the now-captured outpost, known as BGP-5, for months.
