A cyclone struck coastal villages in southern Bangladesh and eastern India, causing widespread flooding, destruction of thatched roofs, and power outages. At least seven deaths have been reported as a result of the storm.

Reports indicate that numerous Bangladeshi villages were flooded due to the collapse or damage of flood protection embankments. Prior to the cyclone's arrival, nearly 800,000 individuals were evacuated from vulnerable areas in Bangladesh. While official casualty figures have not been released, local media sources have confirmed at least seven fatalities, with two individuals reported missing following a boat capsizing incident.
