The answer is Longitudinal waves. 

The particle displacement in a longitudinal wave is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. The ground particles simply oscillate back and forth their equilibrium positions unlike transverse waves that do not move along with the waves but rather oscillate up and down their individual equilibrium positions.

g100num [7]
Violence broke out in northern Rakhine state on 25 August, when militants attacked government forces.

The UN’s top human rights official said on 11 September that the military’s response was “clearly disproportionate” to insurgent attacks and warned that Myanmar’s treatment of its Rohingya minority appears to be a “textbook example” of ethnic cleansing.
