Old video of Khulna City Hospital fire resurfaces on Facebook with false claim of extremist attack in Savar

Hundreds of Facebook posts shared a video late Monday claiming that an extremist attack had taken place in Savar, Dhaka.

See the posts here and here.

The claim is false.

Waadaa Fact-Check investigated the video and found that it is more than a month old. The footage actually shows a fire at Khulna City Hospital on June 11, 2026.

A longer version of the video confirms that it depicts the June 11 fire incident.

The misleading posts also include a keyframe of Citizen Lab Hospital, which is located directly opposite Khulna City Hospital.

The incident was reported here and here.

Nur Mohammad, Officer-in-Charge (Investigation) of Savar Model Police Station, also denied any reports of an attack in Savar on Monday.

“We spoke with all our patrol teams, but found no information about such an incident,” he told Daily Waadaa.
