A mild earthquake was felt across several regions of Bangladesh, including Dhaka, on Tuesday at 11:41 a.m. The European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) confirmed the tremor, reporting a magnitude of 3.6 on the Richter scale and a depth of 10 kilometers. The Meteorological Department’s Earthquake Observation and Research Center also recorded the event, noting a slightly lower magnitude of 3.4 and describing it as a minor quake with no cause for concern.

Experts cited in the report explained that Bangladesh lies in a seismically active zone near the junction of three tectonic plates, making occasional earthquakes a normal occurrence. However, they noted a recent increase in seismic activity across the country, particularly in the southwestern region, which was previously considered a low-risk area.

Authorities did not report any damage or casualties, and officials reassured the public that the tremor posed no immediate threat.
