This is a significant development in Arakan State. ARSA since driven out of Arakan to Bangladesh by the junta back in 2017, have been rebuilding their corps and gathering strength with the help of Junta in recent years, and also allegedly, by some forces in Bangladesh. This is the first large scale attack by ARSA since 2017 which triggered the Rohingya crisis.
