According to media reports, the Myanmar military has defended on 02 March 2018, its decision to deploy fresh troops near the shared border with neighboring Bangladesh, blaming a militant threat. Earlier Dhaka asked Myanmar to pull back its soldiers from the border area near a refugee camp where more than 5,000 Rohingya refugees have been living. The Rohingya crisis started in August 2017, when Rohingya militants launched a series of attacks on multiple Myanmar government posts in the region, leading the army to unleash a large military campaign that drove around 700,000 Rohingyas across the border.
