July 10
Radio NUG
The Arakan Army (AA) has gained control of over 93% of the territory in Rakhine State and is actively conducting operations to establish full control over the entire state, according to a report by ISP-Myanmar. Since early 2025, the AA has expanded its military operations beyond Rakhine State into Magway, Bago, and Ayeyarwady Regions.
The report states that at least 23 armed resistance groups, which emerged after the military coup in 2021, have received varying levels of support from the AA. This support includes weapons, logistics, and military training—either in part or in full.
These groups are reportedly conducting military operations in approximately 61 townships across Myanmar. Among them, 18 groups are actively collaborating with the AA in areas adjacent to Rakhine State, such as Chin State, Magway, Bago, and Ayeyarwady Regions, while 8 groups operate directly under AA's military command structure.
In December 2024, the AA seized control of 14 townships in Rakhine State, including the Western Regional Military Command Headquarters.
During the first half of 2025, the number of clashes nationwide has reportedly declined, with Rakhine State witnessing an 85% decrease in battle frequency, and airstrikes dropping by 80%.
However, data from the past two and a half years indicate that airstrikes, civilian casualties, and the rise in internally displaced persons (IDPs) have had intensifying and widespread humanitarian impacts both in Rakhine State and across the country.
