Six Bangladeshi peacekeepers who lost their lives while serving under the United Nations flag in Sudan’s Abyei region have been posthumously awarded the prestigious Dag Hammarskjöld Medal. The medals were presented at a ceremony at the UN Headquarters in New York on the occasion of International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers. UN Secretary-General António Guterres handed the medals to Bangladesh’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Muhammad Abdul Muhith, on behalf of the fallen peacekeepers.

The honor recognizes their courage, dedication, and sacrifice in the cause of international peace and security. The six honorees—Corporal Md Masud Rana, Privates Md Jahangir Alam, Md Sabuj Mia, Md Mominul Islam, Shamim Reza, and Santo Mondol—were killed in a drone attack on December 13, 2025, while serving with the UN Interim Security Force for Abyei in Kadugli, Sudan. This year, 68 military, police, and civilian peacekeepers from 33 member states received the medal posthumously.

During the ceremony, the Secretary-General observed a minute of silence in memory of nearly 4,500 peacekeepers who have died since 1948 and acknowledged the contributions of over 50,000 personnel currently serving in missions worldwide.
