Arakan Army Captures Three Outposts as Junta's Laymyethna Recapture Offensive Grinds On

The Arakan Army and allied resistance forces captured three Myanmar military outposts in Laymyethna Township, Ayeyarwady Region, in counter-attacks against the junta's ground offensive to recapture AA-held territory, reported September 26, 2026. Light Infantry Division 66, the Southwestern Command, and allied Pyu Saw Htee militias have conducted operations across Pandawgyi, Setsetyo and Yonsel villages in Laymyethna, with clashes also spreading to neighboring Yekyi and Thabaung townships since early September as part of the broader 'Operation 4926' campaign; regime forces have so far failed to make significant advances.
