RAKHINE STATE – Arakan Army (AA) issued a statement on the night of January 8, saying that they have received communications from the junta council’s military base camp which would like to surrender under AA.
It was stated in the statement that after the entire Regional Command Headquarters (Laukkaing) surrendered under Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), the entire Taung Shay Taung tactical hill camp also surrendered under AA. Following that, the other junta council’s military camps have also contacted AA to surrender under AA.
It was also in the statement that the comrades from the alliance forces also actively participated in the Taung Shay Taung tactical hill capturing battles, along with AA, while gaining the battle experiences.
It was known that once they (AA) captured all of the junta council’s military camps in the western part of Paletwa, the whole Paletwa region will be the terrorist junta council free area. In order to be like that, AA planned to attack and capture the rest of the junta council camps within a few days.
At around 4 p.m. on January 7, AA completely captured the junta council’s Thin Kyit Taw Taung military camp. During the capturing battles, AA could confiscate a large amount of military equipment and ammunition.
AA also informed that if the junta council servants and the military camps would like to surrender, they could contact AA at any time.
