Bangladesh Rocked by Aftershocks as Earthquake Death Toll Climbs to 10
Bangladesh is grappling with a series of aftershocks following a recent earthquake, which has tragically pushed the death toll to 10 people. The nation, particularly areas around its capital, Dhaka, experienced further seismic activity today.
The Bangladesh Meteorological Department reported a 3.3-magnitude aftershock earlier this morning in Narshingdi district, situated just east of Dhaka. This was followed by a more significant 4.3-magnitude quake that struck Dhaka itself around 6:00 p.m. local time (1200 GMT).
These jolts come amidst ongoing recovery efforts from the initial tremor, which led to significant damage, including roof and wall collapses. Rescue officials have been diligently working to clear debris in affected areas, as depicted in images showing efforts to remove rubble in Dhaka on Friday, November 21, 2025.
The increasing number of fatalities underscores the severity of the seismic events impacting Bangladesh. The region remains on alert for further activity as authorities assess the full extent of the damage and continue aid operations.
