Kyee Kyaung Island Inside Arakan


Armed clashes were reported on Sunday morning between the Arakan Army (AA) and the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) on Kyee Kyaung Island, located in the northern part of Maungdaw Township along the Rakhine–Bangladesh border, according to local residents and border-area sources.

Witnesses stated that the confrontation began at approximately 6:30 a.m., when ARSA members allegedly initiated gunfire toward an AA position from the vicinity of the border area. AA forces reportedly returned fire, resulting in an exchange that lasted several hours before ARSA elements withdrew toward Bangladeshi territory.

Following the incident, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) detained several suspected ARSA members who crossed into Bangladesh during the retreat. Sources indicated that the detentions were carried out as part of routine border security measures aimed at preventing unauthorized crossings by armed groups.

The situation along the border remains tense, with reports indicating that stray gunfire reached nearby areas on the Bangladeshi side during the exchange. Local sources reported that at least one civilian sustained injuries, highlighting ongoing security risks faced by border communities.

As of the time of reporting, no official statement has been released by the Arakan Army regarding the incident. Independent confirmation of casualties or material damage remains limited due to restricted access to the area.

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
