KOLKATA, June 6 - Putting to rest reports of a surgical strike in Myanmar against rebels from the North East after an ambush killing six Assam Rifles personnel in Manipur last month, the Army today said sometimes factional fights among insurgent groups were attributed to security forces.

�I must ask you where does this rumour come from? We respect the sovereignty of all our neighbours. There is no question of going across... Nothing has happened. We did no strikes,� Eastern Army Commander Lieutenant General Praveen Bakshi told reporters here when asked to comment on reports of a surgical strike by security forces in neighbouring Myanmar. � PTI
