10th Earthquake This Month: 5.3 Magnitude Tremor Hits Satkhira, Rising Panic in Bangladesh

Its epicenter was located in Ashashuni, Satkhira, at a depth of 35 km. While no casualties were immediately reported, residents of Satkhira and Khulna experienced violent jolts.

This marks the 10th tremor to hit the country this February alone, causing widespread concern among experts and citizens. The month began with minor tremors in Sylhet and has escalated through incidents in Sunamganj and cross-border vibrations from Myanmar and Sikkim. Geologists warn that these frequent moderate quakes could be a sign of accumulated tectonic stress. As Bangladesh sits on the junction of the Indian and Eurasian plates, experts are closely monitoring whether these recurring shakes are a precursor to a much larger seismic event.
