ARSA Militants Spotted Preparing Assaults on Civilians in Northern Maungdaw
In a recently surfaced video, armed members of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) were seen taking tactical positions in what appears to be a populated area of northern Maungdaw Township, raising fears of imminent attacks on local civilians.
Eyewitnesses and security sources reported that the militants were observed moving into strategic locations near villages already affected by ongoing clashes. Residents in nearby communities expressed growing concern that ARSA fighters are preparing coordinated assaults against non-combatants, further destabilizing the border region.
Local analysts note that ARSA’s recent operations have increasingly targeted unarmed villagers, including ethnic Rakhine and Hindu minorities, in a campaign of intimidation and control. Human rights groups have repeatedly urged both Bangladeshi and Myanmar authorities to prevent cross-border militant activities and to ensure civilian safety along the Naf River corridor.
As tensions continue to escalate, community leaders have called for international monitoring to prevent further atrocities and to hold ARSA accountable for deliberate acts of violence against innocent civilians.
