Summary

Myanmar military troops experienced heavy losses while attempting a new amphibious landing on Ngapyi Island, a key location in the Kaladan River situated in Pauktaw (Wirathani) Township, close to Sittwe, the capital of Rakhine State. Arakan Army (AA) fighters ambushed the group of more than 200 regime soldiers prior to their arrival at the coast. The AA coastal defense teams used a combination of drone attacks, artillery, and gunfire to strike the landing party, causing at least 50 deaths among the junta personnel during the opening phase. Although the military utilized continuous naval shelling, long-range artillery, and airstrikes, some of the soldiers succeeded in securing a brief position on the island. This operation represents the third time in one month that the military has tried to capture Ngapyi Island.
