Officers from the US Army and Pacific Air Forces start travelling to Bangladesh for two joint drills.

Since June 20, a notable influx of US Army and Air Force personnel has arrived in Dhaka, later heading to Chittagong to participate in the planning conference for Operation Pacific Angel-25, set to commence on June 25.

Alongside Operation Pacific Angel, US defense personnel will also engage in Exercise Tiger Lighting-2025, focused on enhancing peacekeeping readiness and strengthening regional security cooperation between the US and Bangladesh. The exercises are being coordinated by the Bangladesh Army’s Armed Forces Division, highlighting growing military ties between the two nations.

Ahead of the polls, the Assam chief minister notes an increase in 5,000 “foreign” Facebook accounts.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has revealed that around 5,000 Facebook accounts, allegedly promoting a particular political party and sharing hardcore Islamic fundamentalist content, have become active ahead of the state elections.
