STORYLINE:
At least 10 people were killed as Cyclone Remal slammed Bangladesh's coastlines and weakened to a tropical depression, said the country's State Minister for Disaster Management and Relief Md Mohibur Rahman on Monday.
"We've come to know that 10 people were killed in six coastal districts due to the cyclonic storm," the official told a press conference in capital Dhaka.
Millions of people in 19 Bangladeshi districts have been affected by the powerful storm, he said, adding a total of 148,533 houses were fully or partially damaged.
According to him, a mass evacuation of nearly one million people, hours before the cyclone made landfall on Sunday night, prevented a greater loss of life.
