A magnitude 3.6 earthquake struck just 31 km from Dhaka on Thursday at 4:15 PM, sending light tremors across nearby districts. The shallow depth made the vibration more noticeable, even though the quake remained minor in strength. Areas like Purbachal, Narsingdi, Gazipur and parts of central Dhaka reported brief shaking that caused worry but no immediate damage. Seismologists from EMSC and RaspberryShake confirmed the preliminary magnitude, noting that updates may follow as more data arrives. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely, and early models suggest no structural impact. Residents who felt the vibration described it as a short joltâstrong enough to pause daily routine, but not strong enough to cause harm. Stay alert as official updates continue.
