The bodies of six Bangladeshi peacekeepers killed in a terrorist drone attack on a United Nations base in Sudan’s Abyei region will return to Dhaka on December 20, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). The attack, which occurred on December 13, also left nine Bangladeshi soldiers injured. They are currently receiving treatment at Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya, and are reported to be out of danger. The ISPR identified the fallen soldiers as Corporal Masud Rana, Soldier Mominul Islam, Soldier Shamim Reza, Soldier Shanto Mondal, Mess Waiter Jahangir Alam, and Laundryman Sabuj Mia. The Bangladesh Army confirmed that funeral rites will be held with full military honors upon the bodies’ arrival in Dhaka. The government has expressed deep condolences to the bereaved families. Bangladesh is one of the largest contributors to UN peacekeeping missions. The incident highlights the growing security risks faced by peacekeepers in conflict zones like Sudan, where drone warfare has become an increasing threat to international forces.
