A team of Bangladesh Army defused a mortar shell suspected to have strayed into Bangladesh territory from Myanmar along the Nayapara border of Ghumdhum, under Naikhongchhari upazila of Bandarban Friday.
The army team consisting of 20 to 25 members defused the unexploded mortar shell in the bordering area in the presence of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) members around 11:30am, said BGB headquarters.
