Dhaka, Dec 13, 2025 (BSS) - Bangladesh today strongly condemned the deadly attack on Bangladeshi peacekeepers serving under the United Nations (UN) peacekeeping mission in Sudan.

Six Bangladeshi peacekeepers were killed and eight others injured when a drone attack struck a UN base in Abyei, Sudan.

"Bangladesh mourns the death of her valiant sons and expresses deep condolences to the bereaved families. At the same breath, the government and people of Bangladesh send prayers for the healing and early recovery of those wounded," said a press release issued tonight by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The release said the Bangladesh government, through its Permanent Mission to the UN in New York, has requested the United Nations to ensure the best possible medical treatment for the injured peacekeepers.

The Bangladesh Mission in New York is maintaining close contact with the UN and working jointly to extend all necessary support to the Bangladeshi peacekeeping contingent stationed in Sudan, it added.
