During the civil war in Myanmar, Minbya experienced heavy clashes between the Tatmadaw and the Arakan Army. The township came under almost full control of the Arakan Army on 6 February 2024.[1] However, the Number 9 Central Military Training School remained a bastion of junta resistance until 26 February 2024 upon its capture.
