BANGKOK — Amnesty International said on Wednesday that Myanmar’s army was not the only group that slaughtered civilians in the country’s volatile west. In a new report, the rights group accused ­ethnic Rohingya insurgents of carrying out at least one brutal massacre when the long-running conflict in Rakhine state exploded last year.

The London-based organization said that it had investigated the widely reported killing of dozens of minority ­Hindus on Aug. 25 in a village called Ah Nauk Kha Maung Sei, and concluded that ­Rohingya militants were responsible.

Meanwhile, for the thousands of Rohingya refugees who fled the subsequent crackdown in Myanmar, a new crisis looms: The babies conceived in rape are due soon.

Doctors Without Borders has recorded 160 cases of pregnant rape victims between August 2017 and February 2018 in the vast refugee camps in Bangladesh. That number is expected to rise dramatically.

Some 13,500 Rohingya women suffered sexual violence as they fled from their homes and made their way to Bangladesh, according to the United Nations Population Fund, or UNFPA.

Claims that the Arakan ­Rohingya Salvation Army, or ­ARSA, had carried out a massacre there were first made by the government and security forces just hours after it occurred. It was the same day Rohingya militants attacked 30 police posts and an army base in the volatile region, provoking a bloody army counter-offensive that eventually drove nearly 700,000 Rohingya civilians into Bangladesh.
