PM to fix country’s strategy on Myanmar shell issue soon

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina would take a decision on the recurrent mortar shells on the Bangladesh territory firing from Myanmar.

“Myanmar is locked in different fights due to their internal crisis. We do not know exactly against whom Myanmar is fighting. Myanmar has reportedly conflict with Arakan Army.”

“Some gunshots and mortar shells have come and detonated on our territory. One died and some were injured. We think PM and Foreign Ministry will take a decision on the issue soon. We are peace-loving country. We never want anything spoiling peace.”
