Landmines from the Myanmar-Bangladesh conflict have killed or injured hundreds, mainly civilians, despite warnings and clearance efforts.
Landmines planted by armed groups in the border region between Bangladesh and war-torn Myanmar have caused severe injuries and deaths among civilians, including villagers like Ali Hossain, Mohammad Abu Taleb, and Nurul Amin, who lost limbs while collecting firewood or crossing the border for survival.
Over 2,000 mine casualties were reported in Myanmar in 2024, a sharp increase, with at least 28 people injured in Bangladesh in 2025 and one border guard killed.
Despite warning signs and mine-clearing efforts, residents continue to enter dangerous areas due to economic necessity, leaving families devastated and children forced to work.
Bangladesh blames both Myanmar’s military and rebel factions for planting mines, and local officials condemn the use of landmines as inhumane, stressing that civilians bear the brunt of a conflict they did not cause.
