This casualty list is not merely an administrative record; it is a roll of honour. It bears witness to the supreme sacrifice and steadfast courage of men and women of the Bangladesh Army who, drawn from every district of the Republic, stood united beneath one flag in service of peace far beyond their homeland.
They served in a land distant in geography yet close in duty. From Bangladesh to Sudan is a vast distance, yet these soldiers neither hesitated nor faltered, remaining faithful to their sacred oath: “Wherever commanded, we shall go.” In upholding that pledge unto the last, they demonstrated the highest ideals of military service, humanitarian commitment, and national unity.

Statement of Resolve
The attack perpetrated against Bangladesh peacekeepers constitutes an unprovoked act of terrorism and a grave violation of international humanitarian law. Such actions stand in direct defiance of the principles of peacekeeping and the sanctity of those serving under the mandate of the international community.
Let it be stated with clarity and solemn authority: the Bangladesh Army does not forget its fallen, nor does it abandon justice. Accountability for this war crime shall be pursued through all lawful and appropriate means. Those responsible will be held to answer for their actions, in accordance with international law and the enduring resolve of the Bangladeshi nation.
Closing Tribute
From Natore to Noakhali, from Kurigram to Kishoreganj, from Dhaka to Rangpur, these soldiers stood as one—men and women equal in duty, united in sacrifice, and unwavering in honour.
The BDMilitary Team pays its deepest respects to the martyrs, extends its unwavering support to the wounded, and reaffirms its unbreakable commitment to peace, justice, and the defence of humanity.
They served with distinction.
They stood with courage.
They fell with honour.
They shall never be forgotten.
