A strong earthquake with a magnitude between 5.9 and 6.0 struck near the Myanmar coast today, sending significant shock waves across the region. The tremors were felt strongly in Kolkata and surrounding areas of West Bengal, as well as in Dhaka, Bangladesh, leading to momentary panic as residents rushed out of buildings. According to seismic officials, ‘The epicenter was located off the Myanmar coast, with depth and exact coordinates still being analysed.’ While no immediate reports of major damage or casualties have emerged, authorities in both India and Bangladesh are closely monitoring the situation for any structural impact. This seismic event highlights the active fault system near the eastern Himalayan and Indo-Burmese tectonic cells, following recent cross-border activity. Early assessments are currently underway to determine the full extent of the earthquake’s impact on the affected regions.
