The Inter Services Public Relations said on Monday that an army operation left one member of the ethnic armed group Kuki-Chin National Front killed in the remote Moonlai Para of Ruma upazila in Bandarban.
The ISPR, in a statement, said that arms, ammunition, and other equipment were seized in the operation.
Asked, Bandarban police superintendent Saikat Shaheen said that they were yet to get details of the incident.
The latest killing came two days after at least one army corporal was killed and two others, including a junior commissioned officer, were severely injured in an ambush allegedly carried out by KNF in Bandarban on Friday afternoon.
None, however, claimed responsibility for the attack.
On April 2, the KNF launched an attack to loot Tk 1.5 crore from the vault of the state-owned Sonali Bank鈥檚 Ruma upazila branch and abducted the branch manager, Nezam Uddin, in their failure to loot the cash.
They, however, looted at least 14 firearms and over 400 bullets, beating members of law enforcement agencies.
Later on, on April 3, the KNF also looted Tk 17 lakh in cash from the Sonali Bank and Krishi Bank branches in Thanchi upazila of Bandarban.
The abducted Sonali Bank manager was rescued on April 4 through negotiation by the Rapid Action Battalion.
The security forces have so far arrested 58 people in their joint operation in connection with the incidents. The police have separately arrested 14 others.
Police officials in Bandarban said that a total of nine cases were filed with the Ruma and Thanchi police stations following the robberies, arms looting, and abduction between April 2 and 3.
