Local sources report that the military council has conducted airstrikes on Infantry Battalion 380 in Mrauk-U Township, Rakhine State, which is currently under the control of the Arakan Army (AA). The aerial attack occurred around midnight on June 19, when the military council used fighter jets to bomb the area around Infantry Battalion 380, their former base near Mrauk-U town. Local residents confirmed that the attack resulted in significant damage to the area.
According to a Mrauk-U resident, while the military council’s fighter jets caused considerable damage during the attack, the exact casualty figures remain unknown. Additionally, the military council has reportedly conducted airstrikes on several villages in Pauktaw Township, though the extent of damage from these attacks has yet to be determined. The ongoing intensification of conflict in the region has led to increased civilian casualties and displacement.
It is worth noting that in February of this year, the military council had also conducted an airstrike on Minphyu Hospital in Mrauk-U Township using a fighter jet. As fighting in the region intensifies, local residents report growing civilian casualties and hardships. The military council’s continued aerial attacks have caused significant concern among local populations, who now live in constant fear for their daily safety. The situation has created an atmosphere of uncertainty and anxiety among civilians in the affected areas, who face ongoing threats to their security and well-being.
