The two 23-year-old Thaung Zin and 33-year-old Naing Lin, who were injured and managed to escape, were found by the Arakan Army and received timely medical treatment due to their severe injuries.

These three motorcycle taxi drivers were local residents earning a living by transporting essential consumer goods from Nant Thar Taung to Kyein Chaung.

While the Arakan Army is conducting military and political strategies to fully liberate the remaining 3 towns from the hands of the Military Commission, the extremist Islamist militant ARSA and RSO terrorist groups have infiltrated the Arakan region and, in recent days, intensified sudden attacks on Arakan Army security posts, harassing fire from the Bangladesh side, provocative shootings and attacks, killing innocent civilians, and abductions with threats, as stated in the Arakan Army's announcement.
