Border security stepped up over Isis fears

Taninthayi Region, which has a forest border with Thailand, had increased security to yellow, according to Police Colonel Kyi Lin, after the Thai authorities claimed 10 Isis members were in the country.

Taninthayi Region and Thailand share a 600-mile border. Security was increased at the border gates at Hteekhee, Mawtaung and Kawtaung, on border islands and in big cities like Dawei, Myeik and Kawtaung.

Kyi Lin said: “We got information from Thailand, via Facebook and the newspapers. The security was increased on December 1. We inspected travellers on the border bridges. Travellers need to understand conditions and bring the necessary documents. We request the people to inform us if they see strangers in the area.” (Courtesy of Eleven Myanmar)
