AA attacks Myanmar army base on Rakhine State’s eastern border as airstrikes continue
Anti-regime forces targeted an outpost less than two miles from the state line, menacing several of the military’s armaments factories in Pandaung Township, Bago Region. Fighting intensified near the border between Rakhine State and Bago Region this week as the Arakan Army (AA) and allied forces assaulted a junta outpost in Taungup Township, Rakhine State just west of the boundary.

The army’s “Taung Pone Gyi” outpost has been under attack since early January by anti-regime forces led by the AA, an ethnic armed organisation that has captured most of the Rakhine State’s townships from the Myanmar military, a source connected to the organisation said.“The AA is currently attacking the Taung Pone Gyi outpost, and clashes are also expected to intensify near the Rakhine-Magway and Rakhine-Ayeyarwady borders,” said the source, a member of a fighting force allied with the AA.
