A moderate earthquake was felt across parts of Bangladesh on Tuesday afternoon, with its epicenter located near Silchar in India’s Assam state. The tremor, measuring 4.9 on the Richter scale, occurred at 2:48 p.m. Bangladesh time and was recorded about 350 kilometers from Dhaka. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the quake originated 11 kilometers northwest of Silchar at a depth of 10 kilometers. No major damage or casualties have been reported so far.
The earthquake was also felt in several areas of Assam as well as in Bangladesh’s Sylhet, Moulvibazar, and other border regions. Residents in these areas experienced brief panic as the ground shook unexpectedly. Authorities have not reported any significant structural damage or injuries.
The tremor highlights the region’s seismic sensitivity, particularly along the Bangladesh-India border, where moderate quakes are occasionally recorded.
