As per the Inter Service Public Relations (ISPR) directorate of Bangladesh's defence ministry, miscreants launched a sudden attack on the Air Force Base near Cox's Bazar's Samiti Para around noon.

The attack took place hours after Home Affairs Adviser, retired Lieutenant General M Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, in a pre-dawn press conference reiterated the government's commitment to maintaining law and order.

Bangladesh's security forces have arrested over 8,600 people in a two-week crackdown named "Operation Devil Hunt" that targeted gangs allegedly linked with the ousted Hasina government.
