A fire incident at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka on Saturday afternoon led to a complete halt in flight operations. The fire, which reportedly started around 2:30 PM near Gate 8, drew a significant emergency response, involving numerous firefighting units and coordinated efforts from civil and military agencies. Airport representatives confirmed that all aircraft were safe and promised transparency as the situation unfolded. Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire, with no immediate reports of casualties or substantial damage. The disruption forced the rerouting of several incoming flights to Chattogram and Sylhet. The airport was projected to resume normal flight schedules by 6:00 PM on Saturday.
