Police confirmed that a gunfight erupted between security forces and an armed group in Sajek valley, a hilly area known for its inaccessibility and remote terrain. The exchange of fire marked the latest in a series of security incidents reported in the region.
Details regarding the incident, including the number of personnel involved, casualties, or the specific circumstances that triggered the confrontation, were not immediately available. Police said they are continuing operations in the area as part of ongoing security efforts.
Sajek valley, located in the Rangamati hill district, has previously been the site of various law enforcement operations. The region's mountainous geography and limited infrastructure have historically posed challenges for security forces conducting operations in the area.
Authorities did not provide information about the identity or affiliation of the armed group involved in the exchange. Further updates are expected as investigations into the incident proceed.
