After Arana Army (AA) attacked a ration delivery truck of military council with a mine in the early morning of November 10, the military column entered the village of Sin Inn gyi and killed villagers in the evening of November 11, Narinjara news agency wrote. The Arakan Army (AA) has issued a warning letter that it will respond with the strongest retaliation against regime forces from the Light Infantry Battalion (550), based in Ponnagyun Township, who committed war crimes by mass killing local residents.

According to the above facts, the rumor circulated by army supporters on social media that “eight Arakan residents killed by AA found dead in Ponnagyun Township” is a fake story that conceals the truth of the incident.
