Meteorological officials say Cyclone Mahasen weakened significantly as it passed over Bangladesh and missed major population centers.

Meteorological official Mohammad Shah Alam says Mahasen weakened to a tropical storm before it made landfall. The storm also appeared to have spared Myanmar and northeast India.
