Cyclone kills 11 in Bangladesh, forces thousands from homes
None
DHAKA- A cyclone unleashed heavy rain and strong winds on Bangladesh's southern coastal region on Saturday, killing at least 11 people and forcing hundreds of thousands from their homes.
Local media say the deaths were caused by the collapse of houses in Bhola, Chittagong, Cox's Bazar and Patuakhali districts. Cyclone Roanu crossed the southern coastal district of Cox's Bazar and weakened after triggering rains.
The meteorological office said in a statement that dozens of villages had been submerged by floodwaters.
