Johorean invasion of Aru

In 1540, the Sultanate of Johor launched an attack on Aru (Acehnese territory), which at that time had become Johor's conquered territory. This attack received support from the Aru Kingdom itself, led by Queen Aru, Janda to the deceased ruler of Aru. The combined forces of Johor and Aru succeeded in expelling the Acehnese forces who had conquered Aru in 1539. According to historical records, in the battle, the elite Turkish troops on the Aceh side suffered a major defeat.
