A wave of crude bomb (cocktail) explosions continued to rock the capital on Sunday night, November 8, 2026, targeting three additional locations—Panthapath, Khilkhet, and the Cantonment Railway Station.
The first blast occurred around 9:00 PM near Khilkhet Police Station, followed by an explosion at the exit gate of Cantonment Railway Station at approximately 11:00 PM. Roughly half an hour later, at 11:30 PM, another crude bomb detonated in the Panthapath area. Dhaka Railway Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Joynal Abedin confirmed the Cantonment station explosion, stating that miscreants detonated the device near the exit gate before fleeing the scene. No casualties have been reported from the three late-night incidents.
