Bangladesh: Two mortar shells from Myanmar land in Bandarban

 

DHAKA, 29 August 2022, (TON): Heavy fighting between the Arakan Army and the Myanmar military in Myanmar’s Rakhine state along the border left two unexploded mortar shells landing in Naikhyangchari in Bandarban on Sunday, ringing alarm bells in Bangladesh.

There were no casualties reported in Bangladesh, but government officials said people in the Tumbru Uttar Para border area were panicked.

Naikhyangchari upazila nirbahi officer Salma Ferdous said “the incident took place at about 2:30pm and that they had informed senior officials immediately.”

She said “the Border Guard Bangladesh’s bomb disposal unit defused the shells.”
