A Bangladeshi youth named Athwaing Tangchanchangya (22) was injured in a landmine explosion on Myanmar territory across the Tumbru border in Naikshyongchari, Bandarban on Friday (September 16).
The young man's leg was blown off by the mine explosion. The injured youth is the son of Angkyathine Tanchangya of Tumbru Hedman Para.
Ghumdhum Union Parishad Chairman AKM Jahangir Aziz said that the injured youth was rescued by locals and taken to Kutupalong MSF Hospital first. Later admitted to Cox's Bazar Sadar Hospital.
