Drone attacks have occurred on Rohingyas fleeing Myanmar army camps and waiting to enter Bangladesh. At least two hundred have been killed. Most of the dead were women and children. This information was reported by the Reuters news agency citing three eyewitnesses.

According to the report, this attack was carried out on Rohingya last Monday. Four eyewitnesses, human rights activists and a diplomat described the drone strike.

They said those who survived the attack were searching for dead and injured relatives among the piles of corpses. A pregnant woman and her two-year-old daughter were among those killed in the attack.

Three eyewitnesses said that the death toll was more than two hundred. One eyewitness said he saw at least 70 bodies.

These witnesses told Reuters on Friday that the Arakan Army was responsible for the attack. However, the group has denied responsibility for the attack.

According to Reuters, the Arakan rebel forces and the Myanmar military have blamed each other for the attack.

But Reuters could not independently verify who carried out the attack or how many people were killed in the attack.
