An ‌earthquake of ​magnitude ⁠5.4 ‌struck Bangladesh on ‌Friday (February 27, 2026), ‌the ⁠European ⁠Mediterranean ​Seismological Centre (EMSC) ‌said. The quake was at ‌a ​depth of ⁠35 ‌km (21.75 miles), EMSC ‌said.

Earthquake tremors were felt in Kolkata and adjacent districts in West Bengal on Friday afternoon, triggering panic among people.

There was no immediate report of any loss of life or damage to property.

The tremors, which lasted for a few seconds, were felt in several parts of the city and adjoining areas, including high-rise residential complexes and busy marketplaces.

Residents in many neighbourhoods said ceiling fans swayed, furniture shook and windows rattled during the tremors, with the impact more noticeable in multi-storey buildings.

A mild earthquake of magnitude 4.1 shook Bangladesh early Thursday (December 4, 2025), with tremors felt in the capital Dhaka and neighbouring districts.

The quake hit at 6.14 a.m. local time, with the epicentre located at a depth of 30 km in Narsingdi, news portal tbsnews.net reported, quoting the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre.

There were no reports of damage or casualties.

Given the quake’s shallow depth, residents in Dhaka and surrounding districts felt only a light tremor, the report said.

Bangladesh faces a high risk of major earthquakes as it lies at the junction of three tectonic plates — the Indian, Myanmar and Eurasian plates, according to The Daily Star newspaper.

Last month, a stronger 5.7-magnitude quake caused 10 deaths and significant damage, mostly in central parts of the country including Dhaka and Narsingdi.

Dhaka is considered one of the world’s 20 most earthquake-vulnerable cities with its very dense population and huge number of dilapidated buildings, many of them being in old part of the capital.

The region has a long history of powerful earthquakes, with five major tremors between 1869 and 1930 measuring above 7.

A magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck Bangladesh on Friday (November 21, 2025), the German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ) said.

The earthquake struck near Ichakhali, Bangladesh, at a latitude of 23.77 N and a longitude of 90.51 E at around 10:08 a.m.

Mild tremors were reportedly felt in Kolkata as well.

The quake hit at a depth of 10 km (6 miles), the agency said.
