The bodies of six Bangladeshi UN peacekeepers killed in a terrorist drone attack in Sudan’s Abyei region have arrived in Dhaka. Their funeral prayers are scheduled for Sunday at the Dhaka Cantonment Central Mosque, followed by burial with full military honors in their respective hometowns. The remains arrived at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Saturday afternoon aboard an Emirates Airlines flight.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the attack occurred on December 13 at a UNISFA base in Abyei, killing six and injuring nine Bangladeshi peacekeepers. Senior officials, including the Bangladesh Army’s Chief of General Staff Lt. Gen. Mizanur Rahman Shamim, received the bodies at the airport alongside representatives from the UN and civil aviation authorities.
Eight of the injured peacekeepers are being treated at Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi and are reported to be out of danger. The incident has drawn condolences from military and diplomatic circles, underscoring the risks faced by Bangladeshi troops serving in global peacekeeping missions.
