The government has reported more clashes between Myanmar border guard police and insurgents they say come from the Rohingya Solidarity Organization (RSO).

The clashes occurred when RSO rebels reportedly tried to enter Myanmar territory on the morning of May 28 at post 52 on the Myanmar-Bangladeshi border.

An army section led by Lieutenant Zaw Moe Aung in charge of border security was on patrol when two insurgents crossed the border and approached within 80 feet of the barbed-wire border fence.

A man wearing yellow camouflage was killed and his M22 rifle, four magazines, 98 bullets were confiscated while the others fled back into Bangladesh.

Myanmar has long accused Bangladesh for providing sanctuary to militant organisations intent on carrying out attacks on Myanmar soil.

Border-level authorities held a meeting on May 21 to discuss security, and the supervisor of Myanmar border guard police stated that Bangladesh is responsible for these incidents.

The insurgents, they say, are based in Bangladesh and the government has repeatedly requested cooperation to eliminate them.

Commander Colonel Khondkar Forid Hassan, from Bangladesh’s Border Guard, denied the insurgents were living in Bangladesh, despite warnings that any further incursions could lead to Myanmar to take further diplomatic action.

On the morning of May 13, the government reported that RSO insurgents entered the country near the border post 38 and clashed with the Myanmar border guard police.

Later on May 17, RSO insurgents ambushed a Myanmar border guard police on the territory between the border post 52 and Natyaykan. Four policemen were killed and one injured.

Thai penis whitening trend raises eyebrows

Image copyright LELUXHOSPITAL Image caption Authorities warn the procedure could be quite painful A supposed trend of penis whitening has captivated Thailand in recent days and left it asking if the country's beauty industry is taking things too far. Skin whitening is nothing new in many Asian countries, where darker skin is often associated with outdoor labour, therefore, being poorer. But even so, when a clip of a clinic's latest intriguing procedure was posted online, it quickly went viral. Thailand's health ministry has since issued a warning over the procedure. The BBC Thai service spoke to one patient who had undergone the treatment, who told them: "I wanted to feel more confident in my swimming briefs". The 30-year-old said his first session of several was two months ago, and he had since seen a definite change in the shade. 'What for?'
