More army personnel have crossed the border into Mizoram in the past two days as fighting continues between rebel forces in Myanmar and the junta-regime. 276 Myanmar soldiers, with their arms and ammunition, reached Bandukbanga village on the Mizoram-Myanmar-Bangladesh border trijunction on Wednesday afternoon, sources said.
They took refuge in India after their camps were captured by the Arakan Army (AA) militants - an ethnic armed group in the western Myanmar state of Rakhine - the sources said, adding, that they would be repatriated at the earliest.
The soldiers have been sheltered in an Assam Rifles camp, they said.
