Two Bangladeshi fishermen were seriously injured after being shot by members of Myanmar’s armed group Arakan Army while fishing on the Naf River near Teknaf in Cox’s Bazar on Tuesday afternoon. The injured were identified as Md. Sohel, 16, and Md. Obaidullah, 17, both residents of Hwaikyang Union in Teknaf. Local union member Kabir Ahmad confirmed that around 10–15 rounds were fired from the Myanmar side toward the fishermen.
Following the incident, local fishermen rescued the injured and took them to the Kutupalong MSF hospital for treatment. It remains unclear whether the fishermen were within Bangladesh’s territorial waters or had crossed into Myanmar’s side when the shooting occurred. Hwaikyang Police Outpost’s Sub-Inspector Khokon Kanti Rudra said he had received reports of the injuries, while the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) Jhimmongkhali Company Commander stated that the matter had been reported to higher authorities.
Authorities are investigating the exact location of the incident and awaiting further instructions from senior officials.
