DHAKA, Bangladesh, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- A devastating cyclone on the southwestern coast of Bangladesh has killed more than 260 people and displaced thousands of others.
The storm, which made landfall Thursday evening, has left at least 500 fishing trawlers -- staffed by more than 3,000 fisherman -- missing, PTI reported Friday.
Officials said Bangladeshi Army troops and Air Force helicopters were called in to assist with rescue operations.
The officials said the Barguna district was one of the hardest-hit by the storm, with 118 people in the area killed. Reports are still pending from some areas affected by the cyclone, including the Khulna and Barisal districts and the island of Dubla Chor.
Meanwhile, the country's weather office said the sun was shining Friday, but there was a chance of rain later in the day, as the storm continues to flounder north of the country's coast in a weakened form, PTI said.

Road Test Suzuki XL-7 Crossover Expands on GM Model
Over the past few years, Suzuki Motor Corp. has been putting its name on a host of vehicles that are manufactured by other auto makers. Three of the seven models the Japanese auto maker sells in the U.S. are rebadged versions of vehicles made by Korea's GM Daewoo Auto & Technology Co., a General Motors Corp. unit. At the recent Chicago Auto Show, Suzuki unveiled a rebranded version of Nissan's Frontier pickup it plans to sell called the Equator that will be built at Nissan's Tennessee plant and reach the market late this year. The 2008 XL-7, which is the largest and most expensive model the company sells in the U.S., is a re-engineered version of the Chevrolet Equinox. But, Suzuki did more than just add a handsomely restyled front end. The XL-7 is nearly 10 inches longer than its American cousin, and has an available third row.
