The Arakan Army (AA) released a video clipping where a large volume of weapons and ammunition were displayed. Those items were seized by AA members after capturing an army camp near the Bangladesh border in northern Maungdaw township on 11 September.

The brave members fought against the light infantry battalion number 352 on 10 September and successfully captured the camp.

Among the seized weapons there are 81 millimeter mortar with shells, 60 millimeter mortar with shells and several small arms with bullets, a number of landmines, grenades, hats and cellphones.

The camp was located about 3 kilometers southeast of Long Dom (Mro ethnic) village in Goak Pe mountain pass (on the hill of Pae Ruan Daung).

At least 13 corpses of junta forces were also found in the camp. Four soldiers were captured alive by AA members and they were shown in another video clipping.

The camp fell to AA by 7:22 am on Saturday. Following the defeat, the soldiers severely attacked AA members by the helicopters and jet fighters for some time.
