Five people, including a local resident, were shot during a clash between two groups at a Rohingya camp in Ukhiya of Cox's Bazar on Thursday.

Gunfire erupted throughout the day in camps 14 and 15, resulting in at least 10 people sustaining injuries. Amir Jafar, commander of APBN-8 (Additional DIG), confirmed the matter.

The injured individuals are identified as Mohammad Belal (39) from Palangkhali, Ukhiya; Omar Faruk (30), son of Hossain, a resident of block D-7 in camp 15, Jamtoli; Mohammad Yunus (25), son of Abdur Rashid, a resident of block B-3 in the same camp; Abdullah (18), son of Mohammad Alser, a resident of block C-2 in camp 11, Ukhiya; and Hamida (50), daughter of Abdul Goni, from the same camp.

The APBN official said that the clash, driven by disputes, led to five people being shot. The injured are currently receiving treatment at the MSF Hospital in Kutupalong, Ukhiya.

The identity of those responsible remains unknown.

Multiple sources suggest that ARSA has been attempting to reorganise in the camp since August 5, frequently clashing with RSO for control over various areas. The clash, which began on Thursday morning, saw both sides using heavy weapons, causing panic among Rohingya residents and locals alike.

M Gafur Uddin, chairman of Palangkhali Union Parishad, said the incident has left locals near the camp fearful, with many avoiding leaving their homes except for urgent reasons and informing authorities about the ongoing violence.
