The Arakha Army (AA) captured over 200 junta soldiers
along with their weapons in the battles of Inn Din and Myin Hlut in south
Maungdaw and currently the AA medical
teams are providing medical care to the injured soldiers and their
family members.
"More than 200 soldiers were captured during the
gun fighting against Inn Din 6th border guard police battalion and Myin Hlut
9th border guard police battalion,” said a local resident, adding that the
number may be higher, who raised white flags and surrendered.
United League of Arakan (ULA/AA) spokesperson U Khaing
Thukha at a press conference on 9 June announced that the ill soldiers who were
captured during the conflict are being released.
"Several soldiers have been released. Some are officially reported while a few others were allowed to move concerning their safety especially those in poor health. The decision to release them was based on health conditions as we cannot afford complete medical care to them,” added U Khaing Thukha.
Earlier, hundreds of junta soldiers along with their
family members from Mawyawadi 4th border guard police battalion and Myin Hlut
9th border guard police battalion fled by boats. But the landing barge anchored
at sea prevented their approach. One of the such boats capsized near Ah Lel
Than Kyaw while attempting to return to shore.
Between 2 and 8 June, the AA fighters captured many
border guard camps in south Maungdaw including Kyauk Pan Du, Tower Hill, Inn
Din 6th border guard police base, Gwa Sone Pyin, Myin Hlut 9th border guard
police base, Mawyawadi 4th border guard police bases.
