3 more Myanmar soldiers enter Bangladesh

Three members of Myanmar forces have entered Bangladesh through the Ghumdhum border in Bandarban's Naikhongchhari upazila.

Bandarban District Commissioner, Shah Mozahid Uddin Chowdhury, confirmed the news of their entry.

He said BGB personnel took them into custody and seized the arms carried by them. They had been taken to the Naikhongchhari battalion of the BGB.

On March 11, 179 members of Myanmar's Border Guard Police (BGP) fled in to Bangladesh through the Jamchhari border in Naikhongchhari.

In February, 330 Myanmar citizens, comprising members of the country's army, border guard police and civilian population, entered Bangladesh from different points of the border as rebel factions in Rakhine state were locked in clashes with Myanmar's military junta over control of a border camp.
