A blast damaged the roof of a toilet at a home in Kadam Ali Madbar Kandi village of BK Nagar Union, Jajira, Shariatpur, on Wednesday morning. The explosion occurred around 9am at the home of Jabbar Madbar, causing the roof to collapse and throwing a water tank onto another part of the property. No one was injured or killed.

The loud blast spread panic in the surrounding area, and local residents went to inspect the damaged house. Residents said a major accident was avoided because nobody was nearby at the time. A Jajira police investigation team visited the site after being informed and collected various pieces of evidence.

Officer-in-charge Saleh Ahmed said the initial assessment was that an explosive had been placed there earlier and may have detonated after heating in the sun. Police are examining the type of explosive, how it arrived at the location and who was involved. A cocktail blast had damaged part of a septic tank behind a house in Bilaspur Union one day earlier. Police said operations to identify and arrest those involved are continuing.
