At least two people were killed in Bangladesh on Monday after mortar shells fired from Myanmar during clashes there landed in a village across the border, police said.<\/p>\n

Parts of Myanmar near the 270-kilometre (167-mile) border with Bangladesh have seen frequent clashes since November when rebel Arakan Army fighters ended a ceasefire that had largely held since a 2021 coup.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two were killed at around 2:15pm (0815 GMT) in the firing at Jalpaitoli village,\u201d local police chief Abdul Mannan told AFP<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Police said a Bangladeshi woman, named 48-year-old Hosne Ara, and an unnamed ethnic Rohingya man had been killed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were sitting in the kitchen\u2026 when a mortar hit the place,\u201d Ara\u2019s daughter-in-law said, too distraught to give her name.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was serving lunch to the Rohingya man who was hired by the family for farm work when they were hit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bangladesh Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Sunday said that border police officers from neighbouring Myanmar\u2019s Rakhine state had \u201centered our territory for self-protection\u201d ahead of advancing AA fighters.<\/p>\n

A spokesman of the Border Guard Bangladesh, the country\u2019s frontier forces, told AFP<\/em> on Monday that \u201cat least 95 border officers of Myanmar have crossed<\/a> the border and taken shelter in Bangladeshi border posts\u201d.<\/p>\n

Aid agency Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said its medics in Cox\u2019s Bazar had on Sunday received 17 patients<\/a> \u201cfollowing fighting at the Bangladesh-Myanmar border\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the patients had gunshot wounds\u201d, MSF said today. \u201cTwo were in life-threatening condition, and five were seriously injured.\u201d<\/p>\n

In October, an alliance including AA insurgents and other ethnic minority fighters launched a joint offensive across northern Myanmar, seizing vital trade hubs on the Chinese border.<\/p>\n

Last month, the alliance announced a China-mediated ceasefire<\/a>, but it does not apply to areas near the Bangladeshi and Indian border, where fighting continues.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
