A landmine explosion occurred near the Bangladesh-Myanmar border in Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazar, injuring a 26-year-old Rohingya man named Mohammad Yunus. The blast, which took place on Wednesday morning near border pillar BRM-19 inside Myanmar territory, severed his right leg. He was rescued in critical condition and admitted to Cox’s Bazar Sadar Hospital for treatment.
According to local sources, the border area is considered highly dangerous due to landmines reportedly planted by the Arakan Army. Over the past 17 days, at least four Rohingya individuals have lost their legs in similar explosions along the Balukhali and Palongkhali border zones. Locals said occasional explosions are heard, and many people still venture into the area for fishing or livelihood, increasing the risk of accidents.
The commanding officer of the Ukhiya Battalion (64 BGB) confirmed that the explosion occurred inside Myanmar and said border patrols and surveillance have been intensified. Residents have been warned to avoid high-risk areas.
