{Major 6.7 magnitude earthquake hits near India’s border with Bangladesh and Myanmar, killing at least six people.}<\/p>\n
At least six people have been died after a strong 6.7 magnitude earthquake struck northeast India near the country’s borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh, sending panicked residents fleeing into the streets.<\/p>\n
The Indian government said on Monday morning that five people died and at least 33 people were injured in the earthquake, which struck near the city of Imphal.<\/p>\n
Another man was reported dead in Bangladesh after apparently suffering a heart attack following the quake.<\/p>\n
Dozens more were injured in the scramble to escape buildings in India and Bangladesh after they were woken by the early morning tremor.<\/p>\n
Police in Dhaka said 40 people were being treated at a major hospital in the Bangladeshi capital, including one university student who jumped from a fourth-floor balcony and was in a critical condition.<\/p>\n
The US Geological Survey said the quake hit at 4:35am local time (23:05 GMT Sunday), 29km west-northwest of Imphal, capital of Manipur state, where dozens of buildings were damaged.<\/p>\n
A resident in Imphal told Al Jazeera that the earthquake was the largest he has ever felt.<\/p>\n
“People came running out of their homes screaming, some crying,” he said, adding that a heavy bell at a nearby temple began ringing immediately after the quake.<\/p>\n
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted that he had spoken to local authorities in Assam about the impact of the quake.<\/p>\n
The tremors were felt as far away as Kolkata some 600km distant in the Indian state of West Bengal, where buildings shook.<\/p>\n
