Earthquake in Arunachal and Assam: Tremors Hit Two States
A 3.1-magnitude earthquake hit Arunachal's Kurung Kumey hours after a 4.0 tremor struck Assam's Kamrup district.
The ground shook once again in the Northeast on Saturday night, as an earthquake in Arunachal and Assam left residents on edge. A 3.1-magnitude tremor struck Arunachal Pradesh's Kurung Kumey district, occurring just hours after a stronger 4.0-magnitude earthquake rattled Assam's Kamrup district.
According to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS), the Arunachal tremor occurred at 9:28 pm IST at a depth of 10 kilometres. The epicenter was recorded at a latitude of 28.083° N and a longitude of 92.685° E.
A Day of Seismic Activity
The evening quake was preceded by a significant tremor in Assam earlier that afternoon. At approximately 2:43 pm IST, a 4.0-magnitude earthquake hit the Kamrup district, also at a depth of 10 kilometres. The epicenter for the Assam quake was located at 25.749° N and 91.273° E.
This pattern of tremors follows a similar event in Meghalaya's East Garo Hills on October 31, where a 3.0-magnitude earthquake was recorded. While the recent tremors have been felt widely, authorities are still monitoring the situation and awaiting reports on any potential damage or injuries.
