Death toll hits 40 as myanmar unrest spreads
As well as his death, police say 11 people have been injured and around 1,400 displaced in the country's restive northern Rakhine state.
An army spokesman said at least 12 of those were soldiers from the army's 2nd Regiment, including an officer who is in the hospital in Sambisiye.
The statement added soldiers stationed at the Myanmar Army's 5th Infantry Division were also injured.
The Myanmar military has denied widespread looting and destruction of state property, and that its forces have suffered casualties.
The Rakhine government accused the Myanmar military of attacking its army camp in Yala, northeast Myanmar on Thursday and Thursday night, killing at least 11 people and injuring 120.
A military source in Yala who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to give an interview said the army had attacked with small arms and heavy explosives in a bid to capture the base.
The army's military spokesman said on Friday the operation began just before dawn.
"There was no operation before that but when we were informed about the attack, we launched operations immediately and went there," the spokesman said.
The violence in Rakhine, a largely Buddhist majority state with an ethnic, linguistic and linguistic mix of Rohingya Muslim Muslims, has erupted into a major civil unrest last month, with Rohingya Muslims demanding the local government give them autonomy and the establishment of strict controls over the movement of Muslims and non-Muslim men into their overwhelmingly Christian-majority majority state.
Violence flared on Thursday as soldiers took over from the Myanmar army and began an assault on the town of Arakan, known in Rakhine as Maungdaw, killing at least nine people, including three police.
The violence also erupted after two police were shot dead in Anse Gok, in the northeastern state of Rakhine, on Saturday.
A number of police also were killed, according to the Rakhine state security spokesman and an official at the army command.

Ffa bans accused match fixers, police arrest 14,000 after allegations against US
Updated
Tens of thousands of people have marched across Australia to highlight anti-corruption problems faced by a football federation.
The AFL has promised an "incredible" series of reform steps to stop corruption among officials.
But Australia's anti-corruption body has accused Australian Football League (AFL) officials of fixing matches.
AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou has called for "an independent investigation to determine the truth", but union officials say it is a criminal offence.
The AFL says it is committed to stamping out corruption in its sport and has promised a "massive increase" in the number of professional referees and players under the leadership of former Australian football chief Andrew Davis.
Australian Football League officials are accused of fixing matches in more than 100 football competitions across Australia.
But Mr Demetriou says that's not enough to eliminate corruption, but has vowed to take an "unleashed force" to the corrupt officials in football.
"We need an unblemished record of positive conduct, not just for our sport but for our whole professional workforce and for our sport community as a whole," he told a press conference.
Mr Davis, who left the AFL last month to head the Australian Rugby League, says he is "very disappointed" that more senior people are being implicated.
"We need to get the process running, there's no point in waiting for someone else to step up and tackle the issue. I don't think that's what is needed," he said in a statement to 7.30.
AFL president David Gallop said an investigation is underway by the football governing body (the Australian Sports Commission) and the AFL Commission, which is chaired by former Australian Rugby League chief executive Dave Smith.
An inquiry is ongoing
Mr Gallop believes the AFL has a lot to learn from other sporting organisations to combat corruption.
"What I think is very important in the Australian game and what I do know in rugby league is that a lot of what we did in football was wrong," he said.
"The way to do this and I don't think it was right at the start of the league in 1992, that we have changed over time, is to find a new way of doing things and we will.
"I mean, look, with that said, I think if you look at the number of players under the age of 50 and their involvement in professional sporting life, we have made huge strides for those players."
He says they need to look at the role of family members, and the role of parents who look after them.
