On the evening of September 28, Arakan Army (AA) security troops found the bodies of six locals, who had been detained and executed by the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), between Milepost 56 on the Arakan (Rakhine) State–Bangladesh border and Upper Innchaung Village in Maungdaw Township. AA troops patrolling the border discovered six badly decayed bodies, reduced to skeletons, in banana groves near Upper Innchaung Village. ARSA members had dumped the bodies in four separate locations within the banana groves.
