Heavy monsoon rains caused landslides in southeastern Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar camps and in India, resulting in multiple deaths including Rohingya refugees.

Monsoon rains caused landslides in the southeastern Bangladesh district of Cox's Bazar, where refugee camps house more than 1.2 million Rohingya people. The landslides killed eight Rohingya refugees, according to multiple news outlets. In India, monsoon‑related landslides killed 13 people.

Accounts of the death toll in Bangladesh differ. Qatar‑based reports state that nine people were killed, including eight Rohingya refugees, while outlets from India, other regions, and the West report that eight Rohingya refugees died.

Al Jazeera reported that nine people, including eight Rohingya refugees, were killed in the Bangladesh landslides. The Hindu said at least five children died in a monsoon landslide at a Rohingya camp. Bluesky reported that two children died as heavy rains flooded parts of the camps. Today.rtl.lu reported that seven children and a teacher died in a landslide at a refugee school during a class, that four of eight victims died at the scene and four died in hospital, and that landslides killed at least eight people as they slept in three different camps on Monday night.
