416 Myanmarese military personnel entered India, keeping close watch: Army Chief

Indian Army chief General Manoj Pande expressed concern about the situation along the Indo-Myanmar border due to fighting between Myanmar's armed ethnic groups and government forces. The Indian military is closely monitoring the developments. 416 Myanmarese soldiers crossed into India, along with civilians taking shelter in Mizoram and Manipur. The situation has prompted India to consider strengthening fencing along the border. India shares a 1,640-kilometer border with Myanmar, which has been witnessing protests and military airstrikes since the coup in February 2021.
