At least three inmates were killed in Nepal during clashes with security forces, while over 15,000 prisoners escaped from more than 25 jails amid anti-government protests. Authorities, including the army, are working to recapture escapees and restore order.
Attackers set fire to the headquarters of a Bangladesh party that supported the country's ousted leader Sheikh Hasina on Thursday night, media reports said. There was no information if anyone was injured.
