The death toll of civilians by terrorist attacks in northern Rakhine from 9 October to 26 September has reached 163, with 91 still missing, according to data released by authorities yesterday.


Data collection teams started conducting ground surveys on 23 September to determine the losses and damages from the terrorist attacks in northern Rakhine.

From 25 August, the day ARSA extremist terrorists launched attacks to dozens of police posts and civilians, to 26 September, 84 people, including Hindus, ethnic Rakhine, Daingnet and Mro villagers, civil servants and security forces were killed by ARSA terrorists. Fifty-four are still missing, according to the data.

The terrorists attacks from 9 October to 24 August—the day before the latest terrorist attacks—killed 79 people including villagers who are cooperating with authorities, civil servants, security forces, leaving 37 missing.

The main data is collected first and other required data will also be collected, officials said. It is estimated to take a month to complete the work, said U Ye Htut, Deputy Commissioner of Maungtaw District General Administration Department.
