DHAKA, July 2 (Xinhua) -- A 4.7-magnitude earthquake struck Bangladesh's northeastern Sylhet region on Sunday, according to a meteorologist of the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD).
Meteorologist Jahirul Islam told Xinhua that the earthquake was centered in the Indian state of Manipur and the epicenter was 436 km northeast of the Bangladesh capital of Dhaka.
Many Sylhet people reportedly ran out to the streets after the earthquake, but others thought it was no more than a leg twitch.
Fire service men said they had not received any report of damage or casualty yet.
Bangladesh, which sits on the zone of earthquake, is prone to tremors.
