In Myanmar, security forces have been deployed in western part of the country, near the border with Bangladesh, to restore peace after an outbreak of ethnic violence that left at least seven people dead. Police and military units restored calm and imposed a curfew in Rakhine state on Saturday, after overnight rioting between ethnic Rohingya, who are Muslims, and local Buddhists. State media said at least seven people died in the fighting and hundreds of buildings were set ablaze.
The United States has expressed concern about reports of ongoing violence in Rakhine State. A spokeswoman for the State Department said Washington is monitoring the situation and urges an immediate halt to violent attacks.
