Myanmar border police prepare the flag draped coffins bearing nine bodies of border guards killed in mysterious raids during a funeral ceremony at a cemetery in Maungdaw in Rakhine State on October 11, 2016.
Twelve people have died in the north of Myanmar's Rakhine state in clashes between armed men and troops, state media reported on Wednesday, in a sharp escalation of violence in the restive region.

Four soldiers and one attacker were killed on Tuesday when hundreds of men wielding pistols and swords assailed troops in Pyaungpit village, in Maungdaw township.

Troops also found seven dead along with rudimentary weapons after fighting broke out in the nearby village of Taung Paing Nyar.

“After the incident, troops found seven dead bodies,” the state-run Global New Light of Myanmar reported.

“Swords and sticks were found with the bodies.”

The military have been scouring the region, not far from the border with Bangladesh, after nine police officers were killed on Sunday in coordinated attacks on three border posts.

Most people in the impoverished area are Muslim Rohingya, a stateless minority Buddhist nationalists vilify as illegal immigrants.

The unrest has raised the spectre of a repeat of 2012 when sectarian violence ripped through Rakhine, killing more than 100 people and driving tens of thousands of Rohingya into displacement camps.

Four men suspected of being involved in Sunday's attacks, two of whom were named as Andra Mular Kein and Mawlawi Fordita Laung by state media, were also captured on Tuesday.
hope it does not lead to more violence

Whats that supposed to mean?

We should hope Myanmar should just take this on the chin and not target and destroy those responsible?

I hope Myanmar seeks out and finishes off these terrorists, whether it means escalation or not is irrelevant.

@Aung Zaya @alaungphaya
Burma behavior is a little extreme on counter insurgency

Thats fine, they have defined their country according to their definition and thus enforced that in round 1.

Now its time for round 2 since some people seem to not have gotten the message.
They get away with things India would not

That is the difference between having internal unity and lack of internal unity.

India does not get away with doing the right thing because our greatest enemies are within us, unlike China, Myanmar or Saudi Arabia.

We are a state divided, only pretending to be united and celebrating our 'diversity'.
