Ethnic armed group in western Myanmar claims to have captured a major regional army headquarters.

Capture by the Arakan Army would put it a step closer to seizing control of the entire state.

Rakhine has become a focal point for Myanmar 's nationwide civil war, in which pro-democracy guerrillas and ethnic minority armed forces seeking autonomy battle the country’s military rulers.

The military government issued no news about the latest development, which could not be independently confirmed.

The NUG operates as a shadow government and stakes a claim to greater legitimacy than the ruling military.

The meetings risk legitimizing the junta, which continues to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity with impunity against Myanmar ’s people, Human Rights Watch says.

Ayean has needed to shake up its approach to Myanmar 's crisis.
