Arakan Army Has Myanmar Junta’s Weapons Factories in Its Sights

The fall of the Myanmar military’s Western Command headquarters in Rakhine State’s Ann Township last month has exposed regime weapons factories along the Irrawaddy River to resistance attacks.

There are 25 weapons factories in Myanmar, 15 in Magwe Region, seven in Bago Region, two in Naypyitaw’s Tatkone, and one in Yangon’s Taikkyi Township.

The weapons factories in Magwe and Bago are located on the west bank of the Irrawaddy River.
