The funeral prayers for six Bangladeshi peacekeepers killed in a terrorist drone attack on a United Nations mission base in Sudan’s Abyei region were held at the Dhaka Cantonment Central Mosque on Sunday morning. Senior military and government officials, including the chiefs of the army, navy, and air force, attended the ceremony alongside family members of the fallen soldiers. Floral tributes were placed on behalf of the President and the Chief Adviser.
The six peacekeepers—hailing from Natore, Kurigram, Rajbari, Kishoreganj, and Gaibandha—were killed in the December 13 attack targeting the UN peacekeeping base. Their bodies arrived in Dhaka on Saturday via Emirates Airlines and were received with full military honors at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. A minute of silence was observed, and military personnel saluted the martyrs.
Following the funeral, the bodies were flown by helicopter to their respective hometowns for burial with state honors. The attack has drawn condemnation and renewed attention to the risks faced by Bangladeshi peacekeepers serving in volatile conflict zones under the UN flag.
