We report an updated study of the suppressed decays $B^- \to [K^+\pi^-]_D K^-$ and $B^- \to [K^+\pi^-]_D \pi^-$ where $[K^+\pi^-]_D$ indicates that the $K^+\pi^-$ pair originates from a neutral $D$ meson. A data sample containing 386 million $B\bar{B}$ pairs recorded at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric $e^{+}e^{-}$ storage ring is used. This decay mode is sensitive to the CKM angle $\phi_{3}$. We do not see a significant signal for $B^- \to [K^+\pi^-]_{D} K^-$, and we set a limit on the ratio of B decay amplitudes $r_B < 0.18$ at the 90% confidence level. We measure the CP asymmetry of the $B^- \to [K^+\pi^-]_D \pi^-$ mode, ${\cal A}_{D\pi} = 0.10 \pm 0.22 (stat) \pm 0.02 (syst)$.
