Bangladesh Bomb Blast: A powerful explosion shook the Moghbazar area of Dhaka on Wednesday evening, killing one person and injuring several others, police said. The blast occurred beneath the Moghbazar flyover, in front of the Freedom Fighters’ Memorial, a busy area frequented by pedestrians and commuters. Authorities identified the victim as Siam, a young man working at a private factory, who was critically injured when a crude explosive device was hurled from the flyover above and detonated on the ground.

Family members confirmed his identity. Emergency teams rushed to the scene, transporting the injured to nearby hospitals for urgent treatment.
