The private Bangladeshi news channel has reported several injuries.

“There has been a huge exchange of gunfire at BDR (Bangladesh Rifles) headquarters complex this morning. We have heard mortar fire,” local police chief Nabojit Khisa told foreign news agency.

“The gunfire is still going on. We are not allowed to enter,” he added, declining to comment on reports of a mutiny within the force.

Smoke could be seen coming from the complex, with security forces sealing the area off.
