Fighting raged Sunday in Burma near the border with Bangladesh, where terrified residents reported bullets crossing the border. The NGO Doctors Without Borders said its doctors in the Bangladeshi port city of Cox's Bazar had "received a large number of wounded following the fighting on the border" The AA, made up of fighters from an ethnic minority, has for years waged an intermittent war for autonomy for the ethnic Rakhine population.
Bangladesh is already home to around a million Rohingya refugees, driven out of Burma during a military crackdown in 2017.
