Six Bangladeshi soldiers serving as UN peacekeepers were killed and eight others injured when militants attacked a United Nations base in Abyei, Sudan, according to a statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Saturday, December 13. The attack targeted a Bangladeshi contingent deployed under the UN peacekeeping mission in the volatile region. The Bangladesh Army confirmed the casualties through its verified Facebook page, noting that the situation in Abyei remains unstable and clashes with armed groups are ongoing. Authorities have launched emergency medical and evacuation operations for the wounded personnel. The ISPR added that further details will be shared once more information becomes available. The incident underscores the persistent security challenges faced by UN peacekeepers in conflict-prone areas like Sudan. Bangladesh, one of the largest contributors to UN peacekeeping missions, has lost several soldiers in similar attacks over the years. The government is expected to review security measures for its deployed forces and coordinate with the UN for enhanced protection.
