Dataset at a glance — Bangladesh

Over the past 30 days, Bangladesh has recorded 3 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. 3 landed between M4.0 and M4.9. By depth: 3 shallow (<70 km). 2 events produced at least one felt report, totalling 59 citizen submissions to the USGS Did You Feel It? system. Focal depths ranged from 10.0 km to 52.1 km. All 3 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist.

Leading the list is a magnitude 4.5 event near 19 km SSE of Kakching, India at 52.1 km depth. The second-ranked event, at magnitude 4.4 near 11 km WSW of Narsingdi, Bangladesh, trails by 0.1 magnitude units — a narrow gap, indicating two comparably energetic events in the current window. Rounding out the top three is a magnitude 4.4 earthquake near 20 km NNE of Lakhipur, India.
