A tense situation is prevailing along the Bangladesh-Myanmar frontier after an armed member of the Arakan Army (AA) entered Bangladesh on Monday, hours after prolonged bursts of gunfire from the Myanmar side in Bandarban’s Ghumdhum border.
Two more mortar shells fired from Myanmar fighter jets landed inside Bangladeshi territory in Bandarban this (September 3, 2022) morning, police said.
Apart from more than 32,000 registered Rohingyas in two refugee camps of Cox's Bazar, about three lakh of the ethnic minorities from Myanmar are living illegally in the district. The statistics came from the first round of government census, held from February 1 to 23 to identify Rohingya families in Bangladesh.
