Myanmar says over 3,00,000 Rohingya refugees verified for repatriation as exodus enters ninth year

The operation drove more than 7,00,000 Rohingya across the border into Bangladesh, joining hundreds of thousands of others already living there for decades in the wake of waves of previous violence perpetrated by Myanmar's military
