Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) recovered five anti-personnel landmines and various explosive materials near the Naikhongchhari border in Cox’s Bazar. The operation was conducted on April 9 by a patrol team from the Targupara Border Outpost under the 11 BGB Battalion. The recovered items included five suspected improvised explosive devices, a metal detector, a solar panel, dry food, mobile phones, power banks, and civilian clothing. The discovery was made between border pillars 53 and 54 near the zero line.
BGB’s Ramu Sector confirmed the recovery in a briefing on April 10, led by Lieutenant Colonel Fayezul Kabir. The explosives were secured with sandbags and marked with red flags. For public safety, vehicle movement in the area was temporarily suspended, and additional patrols were deployed.
