Fire brigade fueled the fire caught Rohingya villages using patrol instead of putting off the fire. About 2000 Rohingyas and Kamans together escaped to the sea by 50 boats.

But the navy is not allowing them to get on the shore without the permission of Naypyitaw. In another boat trying to sail off, all Rohingya and Kaman men were killed by the terrorists on the spot and their women were raped and gang-raped. The children in the boat were also killed. Meanwhile, there is no news of other 35 boats and might be still be floating at the sea.

More than 600 Rohingyas and Kamans trying to escape the mass killings by other 20 boats were killed in one scene took place earlier as their boats were torched using fire-rockets by the terrorists.

A group of armed Rakhine terrorists stopped them on their ways and shifted all women and children to their boat and killed all Rohingya young and elderly men inhumanely in the river.

Since thousands of Rakhine terrorists have been surrounding the village since yesterday and because of continual attacks against Rohingyas, 25 Rohingyas died and other 300 got injured. Out of the killed 25 Rohingyas, two were infants. They have no more food rations and they will die due to starvation if the situation continues.

Rathedaung, Arakan- About 6000 Rakhine extremists gathered in Rathedaung today. While they were about to attack Rohingyas, Military stopped them (Rakhines) saying “your number is not enough to kill Kulars especially if they combine with Kulars from Buthidaung. Gather more people and attack Kulars.” Therefore, the attack against Rohingyas can break out anytime in Rathedaung.
