AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Over a dozen Rohingya Muslims were killed and several others injured when the Myanmar army targeted villages in western Rakhine state with artillery attacks in the past two days.
Ro Nay San Lwin, co-founder of Free Rohingya Coalition, an umbrella network of Rohingya refugees, said the Myanmar military targeted the community in Hpon Nyo Lake village of Buthidaung Tsp in the last two days.
"Amid fighting between the Arakan Army and the Myanmar military, Rohingya casualties are numerous and have become a target," he added.
In 2017, a mass exodus of Rohingya people was provoked by the Myanmar military's brutal crackdown on the Muslim minority in the country.
Since then, approximately 1.2 million Rohingya fled to neighboring Bangladesh, living in precarious situations at the world’s largest refugee camp in Cox's Bazar.
