2000 Naf War
Skirimish between Bangladesh and Burma / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Naf War was a minor military engagement between the Bangladesh Rifles (now Border Guard Bangladesh ) and the Burmese border guards.[1] The skirmish led to some Burmese military deaths, and no Bangaldeshi loss of life. Later, Director General of the Bangladesh Rifles Major General Fazulr Rahman stated on a talk show that over six hundred Burmese soldiers died. Other military officials denied the claims, further adding that the situation was resolved diplomatically and that Parliament never declared a "war".[2] The 2,500 soldiers of the Bangladesh Rifles fought against two guard posts of the Burmese Army, i.e. 25 soldiers.
