A wave of arson and crude bomb attacks at multiple locations across Dhaka yesterday, targeting public transport, institutions linked to the chief adviser and fisheries adviser, the National Citizen Party, and religious establishments, has sparked public anxiety.

Crude bombs were hurled at 11 locations throughout the day, while three buses were set on fire, prompting the authorities to ramp up security. No casualties were reported in the arson incidents.

The police headquarters directed all stations in Dhaka to intensify patrols and surveillance ahead of November 13, when the International Crimes Tribunal is scheduled to set the date for delivering its verdict in a case against ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
