More than 30 junta troops were discovered drifting in the Rar Maung River near Minbya

More Than 30 bodies of junta soldiers are found floating on Rar Maung river water in Minbya township of Rakhine State, reported a local resident.

"I am not sure the exact date when these bodies perished. They are seen floating now. There were more than 30 bodies all wearing military uniforms," added the resident.

The bodies of those soldiers might be reinforcements who arrived by the navy barge from Kyat Sin bridge on 20 January. On that day the Arakan Army (AA) fighter surrounded and attacked them, resulting in the casualties among soldiers.

In Minbya Township , the entire column of junta forces was defeated by the AA fighters. The bodies were found floating later the incident.

On 23 January, a video clipping surfaced on social media showed the dead bodies of 7 junta soldiers. It also depicted the seizure of weapons after an attack by the AA members at Min Bar Gyi jetty under Minbya township.
