More than 500 Rohingya refugees have escaped from a detention centre in northern Malaysia.
Police say the detainees broke down doors, overwhelmed immigration officers and fled, but more than 360 of those who broke free have already been rearrested.
At least six people were killed in the incident.
Al Jazeera's Florence Looi has more from Kuala Lumpur.
