Kolkata Earthquake: Tremors in India’s eastern city as 5.7-magnitude quake hits Bangladesh

Kolkata reported mild tremors on Friday morning, with residents feeling brief shaking around 10.10 AM. The movement lasted only a few seconds, and there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

The German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ) later said a magnitude 5.7 earthquake had struck Bangladesh at a depth of 10 km. The tremors in Kolkata are likely linked to this quake, though official confirmation from Indian agencies is still awaited.

The incident caused brief panic among netizens, who shared accounts of furniture shaking. Authorities have not yet released details on the intensity on the region.
More information is awaited.
