The bodies of six Bangladeshi peacekeepers killed in a terrorist drone strike in Sudan’s Abyei region have arrived in Dhaka. The aircraft carrying the remains landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Saturday morning, where military officials received them with full honors. The soldiers were serving under the United Nations peacekeeping mission when their base at Kadugli Logistics was attacked on December 13 by an armed separatist group.
According to the Bangladesh Army, nine other peacekeepers were injured in the incident, though all are now out of danger and receiving medical care. One has already been discharged from hospital. The fallen soldiers include Corporal Masud Rana and five others from various districts across Bangladesh. The army expressed deep condolences to their families and reaffirmed its commitment to global peacekeeping efforts.
The attack highlights growing security risks for UN missions in conflict zones such as Sudan, where drone warfare has become increasingly common. Bangladesh, one of the largest troop contributors to UN peacekeeping, is expected to review safety protocols for its deployed personnel.
