DHAKA — Dhaka and several other parts of Bangladesh felt an earthquake again on Saturday evening, the second tremor of the day. The quake was felt at 6:06:32 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 22.

The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre initially reported the tremor, but its magnitude and epicenter were not immediately available.

It was the second tremor of the day. An earlier quake at 10:36 a.m. measured 3.3 on the Richter scale, with its epicenter in Narsingdi’s Palash upazila.

On Friday, Nov. 21, Dhaka and other parts of the country were rocked by a stronger 5.7-magnitude earthquake centered in Madhabdi, Narsingdi. At least 10 people were reported killed nationwide in that quake, which has caused widespread panic.
