The border areas in Cox’s Bazar’s Ukhiya and Bandarban’s Naikhongchhari were relatively peaceful on Saturday morning, but village residents in Teknaf’s Whykong Union report sounds of heavy gunfire from Myanmar. A bullet from across the border struck a house in a Bangladeshi village. Senuara Begum, the woman representative for a reserved seat on the Whykong Union council, said the bullet struck the tin roof of Abdul Alim’s house just behind her own home in the early hours of the day. It pierced the tin and then struck the floor of the veranda.
