The loud sounds of bomb and mortar shell explosions from Myanmar across the border have jolting the Teknaf upazila in Cox’s Bazar since Saturday night.

The clash between government agency and agitating Arakan Army- a rebel group- caused a sleepless night for Bangladeshis who live in Teknaf.

The sound of explosions was heard from 8pm to Sunday 10am, rocking houses in Teknaf’s Nhila municipality, Sadar upazila and Sabrang union.

According to Nhila union parishad Chairman Rashed Mahmud Ali, Teknaf Sadar UP chairman Ziaur Rahman and Sabrang UP Chairman Nur Hossain, sound of mortar shells and bomb explosions has been coming from the other side of Naf River since Saturday night.

Fighter jets were also seen dropping numerous bombs on the Maung Daw area in Rakhine since 8pm on Saturday till Sunday morning.

Although the situation has been terrible for the past nine months, last night was full of horror, said locals.

Residents of Nhila’s Domdomiya area and Lejirpara in Sabrang said the bombings signaled a fresh round of violence between the Myanmar Army and rebel groups, following a pause.
