Military Reinforces with Warships and Troops, Intensifying Military Operations Near Gwa Township

Ayeyarwaddy Times September 1 It is known that in Gwa and Thandwe townships in Rakhine State, the interim government's military is carrying out intense airstrikes and reinforcing naval vessels and troops along the coast and shoreline, engaging in activities to exert military pressure. Currently, at least 6 attack warships, military ships, and vessels belonging to the military are stationed near Ngapali and Chintali beaches. Furthermore, preparations are being made to launch an offensive from the Ye-goo and Thapaung areas within Ayeyarwaddy Region towards the Gwa-Nga Sin Chaung road section. "We have heard that there are plans for an amphibious operation. Currently, the military is scouting along the coastline with drones," a source told the Ayeyarwaddy Times. On August 29, approximately 10 warships arrived in the sea area near Shwe Thaugyan, and about 50 military vehicles crossed Shwe Thaugyan and proceeded on foot from Wet-the to Baw-mee. Military sources indicate that the military has been continuously conducting drone reconnaissance of villages along the coast and villages bordering Ye-goo during nighttime. Military observers assess that the military is attempting to penetrate southern Rakhine State from the Ayeyarwaddy Region side, and there is a possibility of invasion through amphibious operations from the sea. In the border areas between Ayeyarwaddy and Rakhine, where clashes continue, the military has suffered losses due to the counter-offensive by the Arakan Army (AA). Consequently, the military is now preparing to launch a large-scale offensive by reinforcing the 101st Infantry Division. In the last week of August alone, the military reinforced the Thapaung and Ye-goo areas with thousands of troops and also dispatched units based in Yangon by sea. Furthermore, information has been circulated about launching an amphibious operation into southern Rakhine State, and military analysts suggest that the offensive might be prepared from the Mekong Delta region, which is considered the weakest area.
