Landmines destroy limbs and lives on Bangladesh-Myanmar border
AI Summary
Villagers along the Bangladesh-Myanmar border are increasingly becoming victims of landmines, suffering injuries and fatalities as the conflict in Myanmar spills over. Planted in forests and farmlands, these explosives impact daily life for those who rely on these areas for resources and trade. According to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, Myanmar is the most dangerous country for landmine casualties, with a significant increase in incidents reported near the Bangladesh border in 2024-2025. Bangladesh accuses Myanmar's military and armed groups of planting the mines. In 2025, at least 28 people were injured, and one border guard was killed. While Bangladesh has implemented warning systems and mine-clearing operations, villagers continue to be at risk due to their dependence on the land.
