Bangladesh, Myanmar at odds over deadly border clash

 Bangladesh has lodged a protest with Myanmar over what it called an unprovoked attack against its border guards by Myanmar security forces on May 30, following an earlier exchange of fire in which one Bangladeshi guard was killed, Reuters reported.
Myanmar has given a different version of events and has warned Bangladesh it will not tolerate any violation of its sovereignty or territory.
Major General Aziz Ahmed, head of Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB), told reporters on Saturday that a body handed over by the Myanmar side was that of guard Mizanur Rahman, 43, who had gone missing on May 28.
In a statement on Saturday, the Bangladeshi Foreign Ministry said it had called in Myanmar's ambassador to protest at an "unprovoked eruption of gunfire from the Myanmar border force" on May 30.
"The Myanmar Ambassador was told that a BGB team was waiting near border pillar no. 52 for identification of the dead body which was proposed by the Myanmar side. However, to the complete surprise of the BGB, Myanmar border forces suddenly started firing on the waiting BGB team without any provocation," it said.
Myanmar's Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Saturday that the first incident on May 28 involved Myanmar troops and "two suspected armed Bengalis in yellow camouflage uniform who entered into Myanmar territory" in Maungdaw Township. One was killed and the other fled into Bangladesh, it said.
