In southern Maungdaw Township, two civilian women were killed and two men injured when the Bangladesh-based Islamist terrorist group Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) ambushed a civilian vehicle returning from the market this afternoon, according to the Arakan Army (AA). The attack occurred at around 1:00 p.m. on October 22, near a bridge east of Myoyu Village. The civilian vehicle, driven by Ko Tun Win (30) from Kyauk Pandu Village, was carrying five people—including a child—who had purchased basic household goods such as rice, oil, salt, and chili from Sete Pyin Village in Rathedaung Township. According to witnesses, the ARSA gunmen opened fire suddenly at close range, killing two women, identified as Ma Wei Wei Soe (30) from Kyauk Pandu Village and Daw Nyi Nyi Shwe (40) from Inn Din Village. The attackers reportedly looted all the goods and abducted the five passengers, including the child. AA troops later discovered the victims at the attack site and nearby areas. The body of three-year-old Khine Myat Mon, daughter of the slain Wei Wei Soe, was found alive beside her mother’s corpse. Two injured men, Ko Tun Win (30) and Maung Than Thwe (25), were rescued with gunshot wounds. The Arakan Army stated that it is continuing a search-and-rescue operation for those abducted and is pursuing the ARSA militants responsible for the ambush.

  Following the devastating impact of Cyclone Mocha and recent severe flooding, the United League of Arakan (ULA) medical teams have been actively providing essential healthcare services across villages in Rakhine State. Amidst escalating inflation in Myanmar, which has driven a significant increase in the cost of medicines and medical supplies, the ULA and Arakan Army (AA) are striving to meet public health demands with limited resources.  The ULA medical teams are delivering critical care to both Rakhine and Muslim populations affected by Cyclone Mocha, ensuring that lifesaving treatment is provided equitably.

Ancient Buddhist Kingdom Under Siege by Jihadist Movements

-
The narrative "Arakan - Ancient Buddhist Kingdom, Endangered by Jihad" portrays Arakan (Rakhine State, Myanmar) as a historic Buddhist kingdom with a centuries-old cultural heritage, now threatened by jihadist violence, primarily from the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) and other Rohingya militant groups. It alleges these groups have engaged in violent campaigns since 1942, including massacres, arson, and ethnic cleansing targeting Buddhists, Hindus, and other minorities, with the goal of establishing an Islamic state. Highlighting events like the 2017 massacre of 99 Hindus, the account claims these actions endanger Arakan’s religious and cultural identity, framing the conflict as part of a broader extremist agenda. https://x.com/ArakanBaynews/status/1896597827733864845
