Cox's Bazar's Teknaf border shook late at night. On Sunday night, 40-45 loud explosions were heard intermittently from Myanmar's Rakhine state. The explosion lasted for more than an hour. Residents said that the sound of similar explosions was being heard from 3 pm, which continued till 4 pm on Monday.

People of different classes and professions living in Teknaf informed about the explosion with status on social media Facebook. In this way, the sound of the explosion spread panic among the residents on the border.

Teknaf Upazila Executive Officer (UNO) confirmed this information in Prothom Alo. Adnan Chowdhury. He said, for more than three and a half months, loud noises have been coming from Myanmar. But last night's words were terrible. Homesteads and buildings on the border are shaking.

People's representatives from different areas are calling to know what happened.

Local residents and public representatives said that suddenly, for more than an hour at night, loud explosions were heard intermittently from different areas of Maungdoo Township in Myanmar. It is believed that continuous explosions and heavy shelling are happening in different areas of Maungdu Town for several days. Perhaps government forces are dropping heavy ammunition from warplanes at night to recapture some of the outposts that the rebels have captured. Teknaf is shaking with the sound of all those explosions.

Panel Mayor Mujibur Rahman of Teknaf Municipality said that the local residents saw the warplanes flying across the Myanmar border. Due to the violence, there is a fear of Rohingya infiltration through various points on the border.

Meanwhile, many people gave status on social media about the explosion. A person named Mohammad Ibrahim wrote, "Stop and stop explosions in Myanmar." The entire house of Sabrang is shaking. I can't even sleep because of fear.

Sabrang Union Parishad Chairman Noor Hossain said Teknaf along with Sabrang was shaken by the sound of such a terrible explosion at night. After that, since this morning, one after another, the sound of mortar shell explosions is heard.

According to multiple sources on the border, the country's armed group Arakan Army has been involved in a conflict with the government forces for more than four months in the Rakhine state of Myanmar. Meanwhile, the Arakan Army has taken over more than 20 border posts and several army barracks of the Border Guard Police (BGP). Now the two sides are fighting fiercely to capture Maungdu Town.
