In September 2024, the Arakan Army launched an offensive to capture the city of Ann, the location of the headquarters of the Myanmar military's Western Command. The battle was a culmination of a year-long offensive by the Arakan Army to capture the entirety of Rakhine State. The battle ultimately resulted in the total defeat of junta forces on 20 December and the complete capture of Ann by Arakan Army forces.
