Dhaka , Jan 07, (V7N) - A powerful earthquake struck Bangladesh on Tuesday, January 7, at 7:05 AM, just four days after the previous tremor. The earthquake was felt across the country, with people reporting shaking in various regions. Despite the strong tremors, there have been no immediate reports of casualties or damage.
According to Volcanic Discovery, the earthquake’s effects were not limited to Bangladesh. Neighboring countries, including Nepal, India, Bhutan, and China, also experienced the tremor. The epicenter of the earthquake was located in Tibet, a region known for its seismic activity. The earthquake’s magnitude has yet to be officially confirmed, but its widespread impact across several countries indicates a significant event.
This earthquake comes after a similar incident on January 3rd, when tremors were felt in various parts of Bangladesh, including the capital Dhaka and the northeastern city of Sylhet. The recurrence of earthquakes in such a short period has raised concerns among the public and experts alike about the region’s seismic vulnerability.
The authorities are yet to provide detailed information regarding the impact of the recent earthquake. However, initial reports suggest that no major damages have occurred. Rescue teams and local authorities are on alert, prepared to respond to any emergency situations that may arise.
Bangladesh is located in a seismically active region, and earthquakes are not uncommon. While the country’s infrastructure has improved over the years, there is still a need for greater awareness and preparedness in case of larger tremors.
