In a seismic event that sent shockwaves through Nepal and reverberated into parts of northern India, two earthquakes with magnitudes of 6.3 and 5.3 struck Nepal’s Bajhang district on Tuesday, as confirmed by the country’s National Seismological Centre.
The Earthquakes in Nepal , occurring at a depth of 10 km (approximately 6.2 miles), was closely monitored by the German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ).
The impact was felt far and wide, reaching the capital of India, New Delhi, where residents and workers experienced tremors.
