The Myanmar Border Guard Police, or BGP, fired at the Rohingyas seeking refuge on the border with Bandarban’s Naikhyangchhari Upazila.

Around 87,000 Rohingyas joined hundreds of thousands of refugees in Bangladesh after the Myanmar army crackdown on militants following an attack on a police post in October last year.
