The refugees are Arakan, Khami, Daingnet, and Chin people from the villages of Nat Ai, Kyaw Lann Chaung, and A Bu.

A Kyaw Lann Chaung resident told Narinjara News that the villagers had fled in fear after artillery shells fell onto their village destroying mango trees.

There have been recent clashes between the Arakan Army and the Burma Army in the area of the shelling.
