Arakan Army intensifies attacks near air base in Magway Region

The Arakan Army (AA), has launched new attacks this week in an area near the Nat Yae Kan Air Defense Base base in Ngape Township, Magway Region, according to local sources.

The offensive, which targeted junta camps along the Ann-Padan road near the Rakhine-Magway border, is another significant gain for the powerful ethnic armed group based in Rakhine State. Following the AA’s capture of Tone Gyi Village in Ngape Township in recent days, the clashes have now extended to the Nat Yae Kan, situated about five miles east of the village.
