At least five persons were killed and nearly 40 others injured in a lightning strike at a village market in Bangladesh's northwestern Naogaon district.
"The lightning bolt hit the Saraswatipur Haat (the local village market) killing the five persons and injuring 40 others," a local police officer told TV channels.
The reports said most of the wounded were rushed to nearby health facilities where the doctors said several of them were being treated with severe burn injuries and feared some of them might not survive.
