Mild quake hits Bangladesh, no casualties reported

DHAKA (Reuters) - A mild earthquake shook Bangladesh early on Sunday, sending people running out of their homes in panic, witnesses said.

There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage to property, they said.

The strength or epicenter of the quake was not immediately known.

Quakes have affected Bangladesh many times in recent years but most have caused no loss of life or damage.

More than 20 people, however, died in a earthquake that hit the country's main port of Chittagong about a decade ago.
