Colonel Than Tun Aung has been deployed along the coastal areas facing to Bay of Bangal of Rathidaung and Maung Daw township that the local sources said.
Here, LIB No- 535th based in Rathidaung township was not participating in this regard because this battalion already reached to the utmost front line of northern Buthidaung township demarcated with southern part of Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh.

Two Burmese soldiers were killed in this combating with ALP but no injured from ALP side-that the local sources of Bandarban District, Chittagong Hill Tracts, said.
We are taking an inquiry concerning this combating news of utmost remote areas that ALP member concerned said.
