Announcement Regarding the Indefinite Suspension of River Transportation in the Naf River (Arakan Side)

8th December 2024

On December 8, 2024, at 9:30 AM, the Arakan Army successfully captured and neutralized the last remaining outpost of the terrorist fascist military junta’s Border Guard Police Division (Nakhakha-5) located in the Maungdaw region of Rakhine State. However, the armed members of the terrorist fascist military junta, along with their allied militant groups, including the Islamic extremist armed groups RSO, ARSA, and ARA, some of whom were trained by the fascist military junta, are still fleeing the area, engaging in ambushes and criminal activities with weapons. As a result, clashes are still occurring, not only near the Nakhkha-5 area but also in other parts of the Maungdaw region.

On a different note, the members of the terrorist fascist military junta who fled from the Nakhakha-5 area, along with their allies, the Islamic extremist armed groups RSO, ARSA, ARA, and other armed members trained by the fascist military junta, are attempting to escape through the Naf River, across the Bangladesh-Arakan border, using motorboats, and canoes. Therefore, due to military necessities and public security concerns, all river transportation in the Naf River (Rakhine side) will be indefinitely suspended starting from 3:30 PM on December 8, 2024.
