Second Tremor Hits Ladakh Within Hours
A 4.7 magnitude earthquake struck Ladakh, making it the second tremor reported in a short span. The quake shook parts of the region and raised concerns among residents. Officials confirmed that seismic activity was recorded again within hours of an earlier tremor.
Epicentre and Depth Details
According to the National Center for Seismology, the earthquake originated near the Kargil region. It occurred at a considerable depth beneath the surface, which reduced the intensity felt on the ground. Similar quakes in this zone usually occur due to tectonic movements in the Himalayan belt.
No Damage or Casualties Reported
Authorities stated that no casualties or property damage have been reported so far. Residents felt mild tremors, but the situation remains under control. Ladakh is known for frequent low-to-moderate intensity earthquakes due to its high seismic sensitivity.
