Sixty Myanmar troops slept in Kan Pyin village last night. They are reaching to Pyin Wan village this morning. All villagers are fleeing from these two villages as well as neighboring villages of Pyin Chay, Doe Wae Chaung, Zaydi Pyin, and Aung Si Kone.
Hundreds of Myanmar troops have been stationing in Aung Zay Kone village for months.
“Myanmar navy are sending more reinforcement troops in the west side of river. They will attack AA from the east side of May Yu Mountain range when hundreds of troops are fighting in the west of the mountain and on the highway in Maungdaw township,” a Rakhine analyst said.
According to the villagers in Aung Si Kone areas, there are not many AA fighters in the island and flat villages but some mine planters.
“We are in very danger zones. We live up with imminent threat of our lives. Regardless of our loss of properties in this conflict, our lives are uncertain and waiting to be killed. When AA set remote mines and kill soldiers, Myanmar soldiers turn and kill us. When Myanmar soldiers come to our villages, they search, question, arrest, and kill us. We are casted in the middle of the two forces (Myanmar army and Arakan Army,)” U Aung Hla Tun said.
