A Myanmar military officer was killed and some wounded in clashes with an Arakan ethnic armed group in the western Rakhine state at the weekend, official media reported on Tuesday.
One battalion commander was killed and several others injured as members of the Arakan Army (AA), disguised as villagers, ambushed a military column, the Defense Ministry said.
Another clash took place while the military was launching a combing operation after receiving tip-off that a 100-member AA contingent entered an area near Kyauktaw town of the state early this month. (Courtesy of Shanghai Daily)
