A Rohingya youth was seriously injured when a landmine exploded inside Myanmar near the Ukhiya border in Cox’s Bazar on Thursday afternoon. The explosion occurred in the Chakmakata area along the Naf River, opposite the Palongkhali Border Outpost (BOP). The blast severed one of the victim’s legs. The injured man, identified as Mohammad Shahid, 26, from Block 5-E of Camp 16 in Ukhiya, was rescued by locals and given initial medical treatment.
According to the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), the explosion took place about 2.5 kilometers southeast of the BRM-19 pillar and roughly 2 kilometers northeast of the Palongkhali BOP, inside Myanmar territory. Lieutenant Colonel Md. Zahirul Islam, commanding officer of the 64 BGB Battalion, confirmed that the injured man had entered Myanmar before the explosion and later returned near the border area.
Authorities are investigating why the youth entered Myanmar. The BGB stated that necessary actions will be taken after the investigation is complete.
