Dhaka faces multiple disruptions including dangerous air and diverted flights

The Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka experienced several significant problems on Wednesday. The city recorded the worst air quality in the world, and dense fog forced eight flights to be diverted from its airport.

Separately, a bus collision on the highway between Sylhet and Dhaka resulted in two deaths. In other incidents, a gas cylinder trader was killed in Dhaka, and a nine-year-old child injured by gunfire from Myanmar is being transferred to the city for treatment.
