Arakan Army Seized Key Bases in Northern Rakhine
(Oct 27, 2023 – Jan 7, 2024)
Following the Operation 1027, clashes have resumed in Rakhine State, where the Arakan Army (AA) has seized control of at least 162 SAC military outposts. Significantly, nearly 40 of these SAC outposts were secured by the AA, following SAC forces’ withdrawal from their positions. It is also worth noting that clashes have erupted in northern Rakhine State, especially along the route of the Kaladan Multi-modal Transit Transport Project, in which India has been investing. On January 14, 2023, AA seized the whole Paletwa region.
