A 5.5 magnitude earthquake jolted several areas of Bangladesh, including the capital Dhaka on Monday night.
The earthquake felt at 8:49pm Bangladesh time and the epicecentre of the earthquake was 47 km ENE of Sylhet at a depth of 35 km, Bangladesh, according to the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Centre.
According to United States Geological Survey (USGS) data, the epicentre was 5 km off Sylhet's Kanaighat.
The tremor was also felt in India, Myanmar, Bhutan and China.
The distance of the epicentre was 228 km North East of BMD Seismic Centre, Agargaon in Dhaka, according to BMD, reports UNB.
No casualties or fire hazards were reported immediately.
Earlier, the residents of Dhaka and other places woke up to a 4.3-magnitude tremor that shook many buildings on May 5.
Experts say 90% of the deaths from an earthquake happen when people are trapped inside a building constructed through a flouting of rules and if they do not know what to do during or after a quake.
Earthquakes affect faulty buildings and other structures. Buildings and roads develop cracks or tilt or collapse when struck by a strong tremor. Thus, damage from earthquakes can be reduced by identifying faulty buildings and retrofitting them, and making new structures earthquake-resistant.
