Intense fighting has been raging since yesterday (May 14) until this evening between the military junta forces and the Arakan Army (AA) near the Taung Maw Oo naval base in Kyaukphyu Township, Rakhine State, forcing over 5,000 local residents to flee to safer areas, according to locals.

A military source in the Kyaukphyu area stated that the clashes broke out near Ah Wa Taung, Hmyaw Chaung, and Sanbal Chaung villages when the AA intercepted junta columns that had advanced ashore from the Taung Maw Oo naval base heading toward Sane Town and Min Pyin. The source added that the junta has been continuously using airstrikes to support its troops.
