A passenger train was set on fire in the capital, Dhaka, before the critical general elections to be held tomorrow in Bangladesh. Four wagons of the train, which was traveling from Jessore to the capital, caught fire, and the fire quickly engulfed the train. Four people died and several others were injured as a result of the attack.
Dhaka Police described the attack as a “planned arson” aimed at causing public panic before the elections.
Student-led protesters in Serbia have blockaded state broadcasters RTS and RTV, demanding management overhaul or complete shutdown due to alleged biased reporting. Tents were set up outside buildings in Belgrade and Novi Sad, blocking entry and disrupting broadcasts. RTS called the blockade illegal, while RTV’s head labeled it “terrorism.”
The protests follow a deadly building collapse in Novi Sad that killed 15 people in November 2024. Despite government reshuffles and resignations, demonstrations persist. President Aleksandar Vucic dismissed the unrest as a failed “color revolution.”
