Arakan Army (AA) chief Major-General Twan Mrat Naing has warned junta soldiers to surrender early if they don’t want to get injured or killed.
The AA leader wrote on his Twitter on Monday that junta soldiers can contact the ethnic armed group if they want to abandon their outposts.
“Don’t say ‘let us go’ after we break through three layers of your fence and aim at your heads in the foxhole. It is called capture,” the AA chief wrote.
Junta troops who abandoned their outposts in Rathedaung Township following the AA’s attacks there have told the ethnic armed group to stay out of their way, threatening that they would open fire on villages otherwise.
Renewed fighting broke out between junta troops and the AA on November 13. Many junta troops have since abandoned their outposts.
The AA has taken almost complete control of Paletwa Township in neighbouring Chin State. It has also seized many junta outposts in rural parts of Arakan State, and is fighting to seize strategic towns as well.
