The Burning of Buthidaung (Burmese: ဘူးသီးတောင်မြို့) refers to the deliberate burning of much of Rohingya-majority town of Buthidaung, likely by the Arakanese insurgent Arakha Army.[1] The fire occurred shortly after the Arakha Army captured the town during their offensive in Rakhine State, Myanmar.
