The news translated into English is:
“Two cocktail explosions occurred in front of the residence of Syeda Rizwana Hasan, Advisor to the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, and the Ministry of Water Resources.
The incident took place around 9 PM on Sunday in the Central Road area of the capital. However, no casualties were reported.
Advisor Rizwana Hasan confirmed the matter to the media.
Eyewitnesses reported that miscreants detonated the two cocktails in front of the advisor’s house and then fled.
Earlier today, around 7:30 PM, two cocktail explosions occurred at the Sark Fountain intersection in the Karwan Bazar area of the capital. No one was injured in that incident either.
The International Crimes Tribunal is set to announce the verdict tomorrow (Monday) in the trial of the deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for crimes against humanity following the ‘July Mass Uprising.’ In the lead-up to this verdict, the banned Awami League announced a ‘lockdown’ program last week. Since this program started on November 10, incidents of arson on buses and trains and cocktail explosions have been occurring in Dhaka and various other parts of the country.” The news translated into English is:

The search results confirm that Syeda Rizwana Hasan is indeed an Advisor in the Interim Government of Bangladesh, holding the portfolios for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, and Water Resources, and the reported context of unrest around November 2025 aligns with the information.
