In the US, a police officer shot and killed the 13-year-old child of a Muslim family who fled the genocide in Myanmar and sought refuge across the ocean. The authorities have exonerated the police officer in this incident, citing the fact that the child had a toy gun. The policeman himself said that the boy and his accomplice were very similar to the robbers who robbed the store in northwest Manhattan.

Local Rohingya Muslims are being killed in clashes between the military and the rebel Arakan Army in western Myanmar's Rakhine state. Some of them, including the wounded with shrapnel and gunshot wounds, fled to neighboring Bangladesh.

Touhid Hussain, Foreign Affairs Adviser of the Interim Government of Bangladesh, announced that about 8,000 Rohingya Muslims who fled the conflicts in Myanmar's Rakhine state have arrived in Bangladesh. "The country is unable to provide humanitarian asylum to more refugees and cannot accept any more Rohingya Muslims," he said.
