Aftershock shakes Bangladesh as earthquake death toll rises to 10
Nov 23, 2025
Dhaka [Bangladesh], November 23: A low-magnitude tremor shook Bangladesh, the national meteorological service has said, a day after a powerful earthquake struck near the capital, Dhaka, killing at least 10 people and injuring over 100.
Friday's earthquake was felt in Dhaka and neighbouring districts, causing widespread destruction and panic. Omar Faruq of the Bangladesh Meteorological Department said another minor jolt was recorded on Saturday at 10:36am (04:36 GMT).
The epicentre of the magnitude 3.3 tremor was in Ashulia, just north of the capital, the meteorologist told AFP.
Aftershocks are common after powerful earthquakes, but for some in Bangladesh, it has added to fears of an even greater disaster.
"I don't feel safe yet, as there was another jolt this morning in Ashulia. Maybe we are next," said Shahnaj Parvin, who lives near the epicentre of Friday's earthquake and had never experienced anything like that before. Cracks have developed in dozens of houses in her area, she said.
