Md Rubaiyat Kabir, Officer-in-Charge of the Earthquake Observation and Research Centre at the Bangladesh Meteorological Department, confirmed the incident to Jago News. He described it as a low-intensity earthquake and noted that this marks the seventh time this year that seismic activity has been recorded within the country’s borders.
