Narinjara News, 3 September 2024

On 1 September at  6:50 am, the Rohingya Solidarity Organization (RSO), a terrorist group, ambushed a group of Arakan Army (AA) fighters as they were is a routine patrolling on the Arakan side of the Bangladesh border, resulting in the death of four AA fighters and injury to one.

AA spokesperson U Khaing Thukha confirmed the incident which has been reported to the Bangladesh authorities. He added that if further ambushes take place, they will retaliate decisively.

On the fateful day, the AA fighters were on patrolling duties along the Arakan side of the international border. They were ambushed by around  30 RSO members near the bridge close to Kyauk Chaung camp, situated between BP 15 and BP 16.

U Khaing Thukha also added that the terrorists seized four weapons and fled in three boats towards the shores of Bangladesh.

"RSO terrorists are now using Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh as their base and carrying out military operations from there. We have informed the Bangladeshi authorities about it. If they use Bangladesh's territory to launch attacks on ULA/AA troops across the Naf river, we will retaliate decisively," asserted U Khaing Thukha.

When the AA chased RSO terrorists, they crossed the river and fled into Bangladesh.

RSO is a notorious armed organization which is collaborating with the junta forces. Hundreds of thousands of refugees, most of them young, from Rohingya camps in Bangladesh are being forced by RSO to join Myanmar junta forces to attack AA fighters.
