Mizzima
A junta aircraft dropped a 500-pound bomb on Ramree Town on the night of 27 January, according to residents.
They said that there are at least 10 junta airstrikes every day which have already destroyed nearly 30 houses in the town.
Fighting has been ongoing in Ramree Town, according to sources who say they are observing junta jet fighters and transport planes in the sky above the town every day.
There have also been reports of civilian casualties in Ramree Town but Mizzima has been unable to confirm the exact number, despite trying, unsuccessfully, to contact the Arakan Army (AA) spokesman Khaing Thu Kha to discuss the situation.
As it loses more and more military camps the junta army is shifting its focus to targeting civilians and launching airstrikes and artillery attacks on towns and villages, according to the AA.
Intense fighting is ongoing in Ramree, Minbya, Pauktaw, Kyauktaw, and Rathedaung townships in Rakhine State and tens of thousands of people are currently fleeing from those townships.
