Four Bangladeshi civilians have been injured allegedly in an attack by Rohingya migrants at a refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar district, a media report said on Saturday.

A senior police officer told bdnews24 the attack occurred at the Balukhali camp around 1 a.m.

The refugees acted on suspicion that the civilians were robbers, the official said.

The victims had injuries caused by sharp weapons.

The police were conducting an operation to arrest the attackers, the officer added.

Since the ongoing violence began late August in Myanmar’s Rakhine state, over 600,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled to Bangladesh seeking refuge.
