Two people were killed and nine were left injured in a bomb blast in Bangladesh's Kishoreganj area on 7 July, just days after a terror attack rocked Dhaka on 1 July. Two policemen have been killed in the attack, along with one from the terrorist faction.

According to ANI reports, other than the terrorist who has been gunned down, another has been captured by Bangladeshi security forces.

The attackers have reportedly taken shelter at a nearby school. Firing is still on.

The blast took place at the entrance of Bangladesh's largest Eid congregation outside the Sholkia mosque Idgah, where about 100,000 worshippers had gathered. A few days after the Dhaka attack, the Islamic State released a new video warning of more attacks on Bangladesh.

The attack is believed to have been targetted at a police patrol outside the congregation. The deceased and the injured are believed to be police personnel. Reports of civilians sustaining injuries are also surfacing.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi landed in Maputo, the capital city of Mozambique on 7 July, as a part of his four-nation tour of the African continent. PM Modi is the first Indian PM to visit Mozambique in 34 years. Former prime minister Indira Gandhi visited the country in 1982.

During his five-day, four-nation tour - which will see him travel to Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania and Kenya - PM Modi will hold meetings with a special focus on energy, food security, trade, maritime cooperation and diaspora.

In Mozambique, Prime Minister Modi will hold a "restricted meeting" with President Filipe Nyusi. This will be followed by delegation-level talks, a signing of agreements and an issue of a joint statement.

On 5 July, the Union Cabinet approved the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between India and Mozambique on drug demand reduction and prevention of illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursor chemicals and related matters.

The MoU is aimed at enhancing mutual cooperation between the two countries in combating illicit trafficking in narcotics, psychotropic substances and their precursors through an exchange of information, expertise and capacity building.
