Combined forces of the ethnic Arakan Army (AA) and regional People’s Defense Forces (PDFs) have reportedly seized several villages in Ayeyarwady’s Lemyethna Township after fierce clashes last week.
A displaced resident from Lekhonegyi village in the township said Wednesday: “I heard air raids every day until yesterday. Fighting mainly took place in Wetkone village, but it’s stopped today.”
The clashes have forced more than 1,000 people from a dozen villages to flee their homes, but some remain trapped, according to locals.
