A powerful cyclone with winds of up to 240 kilometres (155 miles) an hour has hit Bangladesh's southern coast, the director of the country's meteorological department told AFP on Thursday.
"The cyclone has battered Bangladeshi coastal areas. The centre of the cyclone is crossing the Khulna-Barishal coast near the Baleshswar river," Samarendra Karmakar said.
The area is close to Bangladesh's border with India.
"The velocity of the wind in that area is 220 to 240 kilometres. There is a violent storm," the official said, but added that most people living in the area should already have been evacuated or are in cyclone shelters or government buildings.
