At least 132 Burmese border guard personnel  fled to Bangladesh again, reports Dhaka Tribune. They sought refuge in the neighbouring country after failing to fight against the Arakha Army ( AA) in the Rakhine region.

“88 of them died on Sunday morning and 44 on Saturday. They surrendered to the Bangladesh border guard personnel after crossing the Nat river from several places,” said the report.

According to intelligence agencies in the region, they entered Bangladesh after crossing the river.

618 Myanmar border guards, who entered earlier, were also sent back by Dhaka.

The AA fighters were camping a few miles away from Maungdaw, Kyekan Pyin border guard headquarters.  All border guard stations of Hla Po Khao number 10 were already occupied.
