Amid the ongoing conflict between the Arakan Army insurgents and junta forces in Myanmar's Rakhine State, 18 more members of Myanmar's Border Guard Police (BGP) and military have taken shelter in Bangladesh today (16 April).
 
All 18 individuals have currently been kept in BGB custody at Naikhongchori headquarter.
 
With this, a total of 34 officials have sought refuge inside Bangladesh in the last three days.
 
A BGB official said on condition of anonymity that 34 people, including 18 BGP members, fled from Myanmar to Bangladesh in three days.
 
On 30 March, three members of the Myanmar Army took refuge in Bangladesh after entering through the Naikhongchhari border. Also on 11 March, another 177 BGP and army personnel took shelter.
 
Before this, 330 individuals from Myanmar fled to Bangladesh in several rounds. On 15 February, 330 people were repatriated back to Myanmar.
