BSF foils infiltration attempt
The Border Security Force (BSF) intercepted 10 Bangladeshi nationals along the Indo-Bangladesh border under the North Bengal Frontier, foiling an infiltration attempt.
At least four Rohingya migrants were killed after a boat carrying them capsized off the coast of Bangladesh close to its border with Myanmar, a police official said.
The boat carrying 33 migrants capsized in the morning, the official told Xinhua news agency. Three victims died in a hospital while one body was recovered from the sea.
