Hours after Dhaka protested against additional troops deployment by Myanmar at the border, the Burmese soldiers have fired shots in the air, Border Guard Bangladesh or BGB says.

The BGB is on high alert after the Myanmar mobilised additional troops on the border and asked the around 7,000 Rohingyas to leave the no man’s land on Tambru border on Thursday morning.

It said such military buildup will create confusion in Bangladesh and escalate tensions on the border.

Mohammad Arif, a representative of the Rohingyas staying in the no man’s land on Tambru border, told bdnews24.com the BGP personnel aimed their weapons at the Rohingyas in the morning and asked them to leave the area.

He alleged the Myanmar soldiers also tried to enter the Rohingya camp by crossing the barbed-wire fence.
