The Bangladesh Navy will conduct missile firing exercises on December 29 and 30 in the sea area between Cox’s Bazar and Hatiya. The Inter-Services Public Relations Directorate (ISPR) announced the exercise in a press release issued on Saturday. The navy has requested all vessels, including fishing boats and trawlers, to avoid the designated area during the operation period for safety reasons.
According to the ISPR statement, the advisory aims to ensure the safety of lives and property while the missile firing takes place. The notice specifically calls on maritime operators to refrain from staying or moving within the affected zone during the scheduled dates.
The announcement serves as a precautionary measure to prevent accidents or disruptions during the naval exercise, which is part of routine operational activities in Bangladesh’s maritime region.
