#Earthquake M4.2 Myanmar (Burma): Myanmar 27 Nov 09:47 UTC - report/info: https://t.co/fp0ZQFJ5XR— Earthquake Monitor (@EQAlerts) November 27, 2021

Earlier on Friday morning, a shallow and strong 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck the Myanmar-India border region.

Two stronger sharp shakes were felt in Chattogram, Dhaka and different parts of Bangladesh at around 5:45am on the day.

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the epicenter of the earthquake was near Hakha, Chin State, Myanmar.

A four-storey building leaned towards the adjacent building in Chattogram due to the earthquake on Friday. 

Biswajit Nath, teacher of Geography & Environmental Studies, University of Chittagong and also natural disaster researcher, said "Today entire Himayan range has experienced series of earthquakes started from Mw 2.0-6.0 at maximum."

All these happened within 30 minutes. It's an intraplate movement which suggests all thrust fault lines are active, he said adding that a great indicator of bigger earthquake that will occurs in the near future.
