A violent incident shook Dhakaʼs Bijoy Nagar district when un-identified attackers targeted the head-quarters of the Jatiya Party (a pro-Sheikh Hasina political group) late thursday night
The assault turned into a full-scale confrontation: attackers clashed with party workers before setting the building on fire. Local news channels showed dramatic footage of the late-night attack which happened at the partys main office building
Despite the scale of the attack — which included physical altercations and property damage — initial reports dont mention any injuries among party members or staff. The situation created panic in the area (which is known for its political establishments); however no group stepped forward to take responsibility for this politically-motivated attack
