A mild earthquake jolted Dhaka and nearby areas early Thursday, according to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD).

BMD reported that the 4.1-magnitude quake struck at around 6:14am, with its epicentre in Shibpur upazila of Narsingdi, about 38km northeast of the BMD Seismic Observatory and Research Centre in Agargaon. 

No casualties have been reported so far.

The Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Centre placed the epicentre 33km east-northeast of Tongi and three kilometres north of Narsingdi, at a depth of 30km.

A stronger earthquake, measuring 5.7 in magnitude, had earlier shaken Dhaka and several regions on November 21, also originating from Narsingdi. 

Since then, several minor tremors have been recorded across the country, most with epicentres in Narsingdi.
