Major clashes broke out in Rakhine State’s Kyaukphyu Township on Monday following an Arakha Army (AA) attack on regime forces near the state’s largest naval base, according to local sources.
The fighting began after the AA intercepted a column of about 100 junta soldiers as they were leaving the Danyawaddy naval base at around 7am, the sources said.

The AA previously attacked the base in January of this year.
The incident occurred near Thaing Chaung, a village located about 12 miles south of the town of Kyaukphyu, a local man familiar with the situation told Myanmar Now.
“The junta column was on its way to the town. The attack resulted in the death of about 10 troops,” the man said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
