UN political affairs chief Jeffrey Feltman is due to visit Myanmar on Friday, said UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric. It was "highly likely" that Myanmar security forces planted landmines along the border in recent weeks to prevent Rohingya from returning, he said, citing doctors treating injuries. The UN experts documented Myanmar security forces "firing indiscriminately at Rohingya villagers, injuring and killing other innocent victims, setting houses on fire". The UN report quoted a 12-year-old girl from Rathedaung township as saying the security forces had surrounded her house and started shooting. The girl did not know what happened to her mother and four brothers, nor her father jailed a month earlier.
