Authorities confirm no injuries after the twin explosions

Two hand grenades have been detonated at Dhaka University’s TSC.

Proctor Associate Prof Saifuddin Ahmed said the blasts occurred around 9:30pm on Wednesday, adding that no casualties were reported.

He said, “Miscreants threw two hand grenades from near the Suhrawardy Udyan. Our proctorial team and police are conducting a joint operation.”

At the site, a documentary titled “Fascist Disappearances, Murders, and Loot”, organised by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, was being screened. The screening was halted after the explosions.

Following the blasts, DU students staged a protest march, leaving Sir AF Rahman Hall and rallying through campus streets.
