Armed assailants launched simultaneous attacks on two temporary camps of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) and police in the remote hilly area of Jungle Salimpur, Sitakunda, Chattogram, late Sunday night. Around 250 to 300 armed men, believed to be members of the Yasin Bahini group, carried out the assault, prompting a joint operation by RAB and police. The attackers reportedly cut roads at five key points using excavators before the assault to block reinforcements and later escaped without resistance. No arrests or weapon recoveries were reported as of Monday afternoon.
Security analysts described the incident as a major intelligence failure at three levels—before, during, and after the attack. They noted that heavy machinery operated overnight without detection, no early warnings were issued, and the attackers’ escape routes remain unidentified. Experts said the operation reflected long-term planning and local collaboration, highlighting weaknesses in surveillance and coordination among intelligence agencies.
Officials acknowledged the need for stronger monitoring systems in the hilly region. Analysts warned that without improved intelligence integration and local engagement, preventing similar future attacks would remain difficult.
