12 people from Myanmar take refuge in Mizoram after February coup

Escaping the military coup in Myanmar, eight people have entered the Serchhip district while four others reached the Champhai district of Mizoram, according to state authorities.

At least 12 people from Myanmar have crossed the Indian border and took refuge in Mizoram around a month after the neighbouring country's military ousted the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi, officials said on Thursday. Eight people have entered the Serchhip district while four others reached Champhai district. A senior police officer said that the identity of the refugees is yet to be ascertained.
