THAILAND protested to Myanmar today after a fisherman drowned following an attack on Thai fishing vessels by the neighbouring nation’s navy.

Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra said that two others had been injured and dozens detained during Saturday’s attack, in which a Burmese warship fired on 15 boats.

Myanmar claimed that the fishing boats had intruded into its territorial waters.
