Magnitudes 6.3 and 5.3 Quakes Rock Nepal’s Bajhang District
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. As a precautionary measure, people rushed out of their houses and office buildings. Fortunately, there have been no immediate reports of damage or casualties in either India or Nepal.
The seismic activity serves as a reminder of the region’s susceptibility to earthquakes, prompting both countries to remain vigilant and prepared for future natural disasters. Local authorities are closely monitoring the situation to ensure the safety and well-being of their citizens.
