The Arakan Army (AA) intentionally and deliberately attacked Rohingya villages with drones in downtown Maungdaw on July 2, 2024, at around 2 PM. This attack resulted in the deaths of two Rohingya and several injuries.

The drones were launched from Wimala village and Myo Oo Ward by AA, specifically targeting Rohingya residential areas. This attack resulted in two Rohingya deaths and several injuries.

Two Rohingya boys, around 10 years old, were biking near the bridge of Maungdaw Public Hospital in the south of Bomu Rohingya Ward when a bomb hit them. One boy’s stomach was shattered, causing his immediate death, while the other sustained serious injuries.

Another bomb fell at the home of deceased Zohir Ahmed, killing an 11-year-old Rohingya boy on the spot and seriously injuring two others.
