Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) intelligence chief Lt Col Abul Kalam Azad dies at Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in Dhaka.

A family from Bandarban is en route to Sylhet to trace whether their “missing daughter” is the dead female militant who was killed in “Operation Twilight” at Atia Mahal.

Food crisis has begun in the areas around Atia Mahal, where Bangladesh Army is raiding to flush out militants. Power and gas lines have been cut on top of a standing Section 144 imposed in the area - compelling locals into days of misery. Low-income groups has been hurt the most.
