A gunfight between members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) and suspected militants are underway in Bandarban's Thanchi upazila.

RAB's legal and media wing director Khandaker Al Moin said the gunfight started from early Tuesday after the elite force members went there for drive. 

RAB will provide more details on the gunfight later, according to the agency’s spokesman ANM Imran Khan.

On Jan 23, RAB nabbed two leaders of a new militant outfit, Jamaatul Ansar Fil Hindal Sharqiya, near the Kutupalong Rohingya camp in Cox's Bazar with ammunition.
