Bangladesh Earthquake 5.5:

Bangladesh Shaken by Strong 5.5-Magnitude Earthquake — Tremors Jolt Dhaka

A strong 5.5-magnitude earthquake struck Bangladesh on Friday morning, sending sudden tremors across the capital Dhaka and nearby districts. The quake hit at 10:08 a.m., prompting thousands of residents to rush out of homes, offices, and commercial buildings in fear.

According to preliminary geological assessments, the epicentre was located near Narsingdi, roughly 50 km from Dhaka, at a shallow depth—making the shaking more intense across central Bangladesh.

Reports indicate that several buildings swayed, small structural damages were observed in older constructions, and public transport movement briefly slowed down. Emergency units and local authorities immediately began safety inspections across the city.

Residents described the tremors as “sudden and powerful,” with many experiencing swaying furniture and vibrating floors for several seconds.

This region is not commonly known for major seismic activity, making the event more alarming for locals and disaster-response teams. Authorities are continuing to monitor the situation and assess any potential risks from aftershocks. Further updates are expected as official reports continue to come in
