Kyaukpyu: Burmese authorities have recovered three unidentified bodies from the sea near a gas drilling project off the Arakan coast on Monday, reports a police official from Kyaukpru.

The police official said, "The bodies were found by a group of gas drillers near Rambree Island, but we do not know the number of the particular drilling block in the sea."

The police officer did confirm that the bodies were found between the latitude of 17˚ 7' north and the longitude 92˚ 6' east, in the sea of Arakan.

The bodies have been sent to the Kyaukpru hospital for autopsy.

The area has been restricted by the Burmese military government for exploration of gas by a Chinese company and Korea's Daewoo, which are currently drilling gas in the area, said the police officer.
