Myanmarese army shoots Indian soldiers

October 27, 2000
NEW DELHI. Oct. 26. ? Three Indian soldiers were shot dead near the
Nagaland border yesterday by the Myanmarese army, which mistook them for
insurgents.
At a later flag meeting of the local commanders, the Myanmarese officer
tendered an unqualified apology, defence sources said here this evening.
A strong squad of the Myanmarese army was combing the area across the
border near Yanching in Mon district, reportedly moving in on a place
where NSCN Khaplang activists had taken up position in the vicinity of
Phrulo-Hoyet.
That part of the border was being simultaneously patrolled by Assam
Rifles men. The shootout injured at least two other soldiers. Senior
officials rushed to the spot and a flag meeting of the local commanders
was arranged to prevent the situation from escalating.
