Six people including a local political leader were killed on Saturday in a clash between two rival factions of a political party in Bangladesh's southeastern Chittagong Hill tracts, combining three hilly districts of Bandarban, Rangamati and Khagrachari.

Police chief in Khagrachari Ali Ahmed Khan told Xinhua via telephone that the clash erupted in the Shonirbhor Bazar area of the Khagrachari district town at around 8:30 a.m. local time.

He said the shootout occurred between two rival factions of the United People's Democratic Front (UPDF) which is a regional political party based in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.

"One of the six victims killed in the clash has been identified as a UPDF leader."
