More armed intruders have landed in Sabah following clashes between Malaysian security personnel and followers of the Sulu Sultanate.
Inspector-general of police Ismail Omar confirmed that the intruders had infiltrated two villages in Kunak, a town between Semporna and Lahad Datu - both flashpoints over the past two days.
Ismail said the authorities were alerted late last night that at least ten intruders were present in Kampung Lormalong and Kampung Dasar Lama near Kunak.
"There were sightings of a group of ten men, three of them were in military fatigues similar to those in Kampung Tandou," he told a press conference in Lahad Datu.
