Myanmar’s government has agreed to release four Thai fishermen, who were detained by its navy in November, according to Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra.
The men were detained off the coast of southern Ranong province, when a group of 15 Thai fishing vessels were fired upon as they allegedly operated in Myanmar waters. The two Southeast Asian nations share a border of about 2,400 kilometers (1,491 miles).
