JAKARTA, March 18 (Xinhua) -- A total of 400 Indonesian citizens who were victims of online fraud have returned home from Myanmar, the Indonesian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.

The victims, consisting of 313 men and 87 women, arrived at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, Banten Province, on two separate flights from Don Mueang International Airport in Thailand on Tuesday. All were in good health, with five reportedly pregnant.
