Heavy gunfire was reported along the Bangladesh-Myanmar border near Teknaf in Cox’s Bazar on Monday morning. The incident occurred around 10:30 a.m. near the Leda area of Hnila Union, where residents heard intermittent bursts of gunfire from across the border. Local fishermen working in the Naf River said they saw a red speedboat on the Myanmar side shortly before the shooting began, prompting them to retreat to safety.
According to local representative Md Alam, the gunfire appeared to come from inside Myanmar, and residents suspect it may have involved clashes between the Arakan Army and Rohingya insurgent groups. The incident caused widespread fear among fishermen and nearby residents.
Lieutenant Colonel Md Hanifur Rahman Bhuiya, commander of the Teknaf Battalion (2 BGB), confirmed that the Border Guard Bangladesh has been placed on alert following the gunfire across the eastern side of the Naf River inside Myanmar.
