The armed group Arakan Army (AA) launched coordinated attacks on the four border police outposts in Nga Myin Baw, Kyaung Taung, Ka Htee Hla and Goke Pi villages in Buthidaung, Rakhine state on Friday morning, killing 13 police and wounding nine others.
Meanwhile, President U Win Myint chaired a coordination meeting on Myanmar’s international relations, national security, Rakhine state and border security issues at the Presidential Palace on Monday following the incident.The meeting was attended by State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi, two vice presidents and Min Aung Hlaing, the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar armed forces, among others.
The presidential office has instructed to reinforce the security forces in the conflicted areas, U Zaw Htay said.
