At least six people, including two policemen, have died in explosions in eastern Bangladesh as troops battle suspected militants holed up with an ammunitions cache, police said Sunday.
On March 17, a suspected bomber died in a blast near barracks of the elite Rapid Action Battalion anti-terror police force.
The blast near the airport was the second suicide attack in a week in the Dhaka area.
The explosions Saturday on a road near an Islamic religious school in Sylhet city also wounded at least 25 people, police officer Bashudev Bonik said.
Paramilitary troops have been trying since Friday to flush out Islamist radicals who have holed up in a building with a large cache of ammunition.
