    The military said “extremist Bengali terrorists ARSA" carried out the Friday attack on a truck taking someone to hospital.
    “A vehicle ... was attacked by 20 insurgents from the mountain using homemade mines and small arms,” the government said.
    The military said there were about 10 attackers involved.
