DHAKA, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- A second Chinese cargo plane carrying relief supplies for Rohingya refugees arrived in Bangladesh's southeastern Chittagong region on Thursday, after the first one arrived on Wednesday.

The relief materials included about 2,000 tents and 3,000 blankets.

An official from the Chinese Embassy in Bangladesh handed over the relief materials to the Bangladeshi side Thursday.

Extremist terrorists launched fresh attacks on police outposts in Myanmar's Rakhine state on Aug. 25, displacing residents from a number of areas in Maungtaw district to border areas with Bangladesh for refuge.

The number of Rohingya refugees who fled Myanmar to Bangladesh since late August has reached 480,000, challenging efforts to care for them, according to the United Nationson Tuesday.
