Arakan Army Renews Attacks on Kyaukphyu Naval Base

The Arakan Army (AA) is attacking Myanmar junta’s naval base in Kyaukphyu Township, Rakhine State, according to residents.

Kyaukphyu has several Chinese-backed mega projects, including oil and gas pipelines, a deep seaport and a special economic zone. Only Kyaukphyu, the state capital Sittwe and Manaung remain under junta control in Rakhine State with the AA seizing the other 14 townships.
