5.7-Magnitude Earthquake Kills 8 in Bangladesh

A woman breaks down in grief at Dhaka Medical College Hospital as she waits for news of her injured son following the powerful earthquake that struck Dhaka, Bangladesh, on 21 November 2025. A powerful earthquake measuring between 5.5 and 5.7 struck Dhaka late Friday morning, sending panic across the city as buildings shook and residents rushed into the streets. According to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department, the shallow quake — with an epicenter in Madhabdi, Narsingdi — caused significant jolts in the capital and surrounding districts. Emergency services reported several structural damages, including a collapsed rooftop railing in Armanitola and a tilted eight-storey building in Swamibagh. International reports indicate that at least six people have died and dozens were injured as falling debris and damaged structures triggered chaos. Tremors were felt across central Bangladesh and parts of eastern India, including Kolkata. Dhaka, Bangladesh on November 21, 2025. Photo by Suvra Kanti Das/ABACAPRESS.COM
