A magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck near Narsingdi in Bangladesh at around 10:08 a.m. IST, registering at just 14 km from the town. Strong tremors were felt in Kolkata and neighbouring West Bengal districts, prompting residents to rush out of offices and homes in alarm. At least six people were killed and several injured in Bangladesh, though no major damage or casualties have been reported in India so far. Authorities remain vigilant to monitor for potential after‑shocks and structural impact.
