An ISPR release has sought to quell speculation and calm nerves around the situation prevailing at the Bangladesh-Myanmar maritime boundary adjacent to St Martin's island.

The ISPR or Inter Services Public Relations is the public communications wing of the Bangladesh Armed Forces.

It said in the context of ongoing internal conflicts in Myanmar, the Myanmar military is conducting joint operations against the Arakan Army in Rakhine State. Due to this conflict between the Myanmar military and the Arakan Army, there have been incidents of unwanted firing on Bangladeshi boats in the Naf River and the adjacent estuary area.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh expressed deep concern and protested the danger posed to Bangladeshi subjects on June 12. The ISPR release sent today said the Myanmar Navy is positioning near the maritime boundary of Myanmar and the Naf river, near St Martin's Island, and firing artillery towards the positions of the Arakan Army. At the same time, the Arakan Army is also firing back at the Myanmar Navy.

Currently, multiple warships of the Myanmar Navy are conducting these operations on the Myanmar border. The Myanmar Navy is also keeping the Bangladesh Navy informed about its presence in Myanmar's maritime boundary near St Martin's Island. It is noteworthy that the internal conflict in Myanmar continues on the mainland and the adjacent coastal areas.

Furthermore, near St Martin's Island, multiple ships of the Bangladesh Navy and Coast Guard are regularly patrolling from within Bangladesh's maritime boundary, monitoring the movements of Myanmar's ships.

"As the ongoing internal conflict in Myanmar approaches near St Martin's, there have been various rumours spread by interested parties on social media regarding the security of St Martin's. Everyone is requested not to be misled by such rumors," the ISPR said.​

Ruling Awami League general secretary and road transport and bridges minister Obaidul Quader on Sunday said that Bangladesh government was strictly monitoring the Myanmar border situation.

'Bangladesh has never showed subservient attitude to anyone. Bangladesh is keeping a strict vigilance on the Myanmar border situation. We remain alert,' he told a press conference at the AL president's Dhanmondi political office in Dhaka.

Quader said that BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir had made an irresponsible statement on the Saint Martin incidents, while he had no idea about the situation.

'What happened in Saint Martin was the act of Arakan Army. Myanmar's state forces did not do anything,' he said.

Claiming that food-carrying vessels are regularly operating to Saint Martin, the AL general secretary said, 'We want to resolve the problem through discussion. Bangladesh has no need to start excitedly a war with Myanmar.'

'We have never showed subservient attitude to anyone and we will not do so in the future too. A few days ago, members of the Myanmar Border Guard took shelter in Bangladesh. They were sent back,' he said.

Mentioning that rumours are being spread that Saint Martin is being occupied by Myanmar, Quader said BNP-Jamaat is spreading such rumours.

BNP can only make ridiculous comments like the ignorant and it is still doing so, he said, adding that officials concerned and Bangladesh Army remain on high alert.

The road transport minister said that displaced Rohingyas must go back to their homeland in Myanmar, so diplomatic efforts continue to repatriate them.

AL joint general secretary AFM Bahauddin Nasim and organising secretary SM Kamal Hossain were, among others, present at the press conference.​
