Bangladeshi border guards advanced a hundred meters into India and seized an Indian border post on the Indian-Bangladesh border. Border guards from both sides rushed to the area.

Apparently the Bangladeshi troops were acting on their own and the Bangladesh government has promised to conduct an investigation and punish those responsible.
