Earthquake tremors have been felt in Indonesia. The German Research Center for Geochens (GFZ) reported that an earthquake of 5.9 magnitude occurred in South Sumatra, Indonesia. At the same time, light tremors have also been felt in Nepal.
GFZ said in the early hours of Friday that the earthquake came at a depth of 10 km (6.21 mi). There is no news of anyone being injured or casualties so far. However, the officials are closely monitoring the situation.
Earthquake tremors were also felt in Tajikistan
According to the National Center for Sisamology, after Indonesia-Nepal, earthquake tremors have also been felt in Tajikistan. The intensity of the earthquake in Tajikistan has been measured 3.9 on the Richter scale. NCS reported that there has been a 3.9 magnitude earthquake in Tajikistan. The epicenter of the earthquake was 10 km.
Earthquake also occurred in Nepal
According to the National Center for Sisamology (NCS), an earthquake of 4.3 magnitude occurred in Nepal on Friday morning. The epicenter of the earthquake was at a depth of 29.36 degrees north latitude and 80.44 degrees at 10 km at the east longitude. The earthquake was recorded at 1:33 pm Indian time.
Giving information on X, NCS said that latitude at Nepal at 01:33 pm on May 23: 29.36N, longitude: 80.44 E, depth: 4.3 magnitude earthquake at 10 km depth.
No immediate report has been received from the earthquake or any significant loss of any significant loss. However, the officials are closely monitoring the situation.
Nepal’s sensitivity to earthquake
Nepal is one of the most seismic areas in the world, as it is located on the border of Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. The Indian plate is continuously slipping to the north side under the Eurasian plate, which is called subduction. This process creates heavy pressure and stress in the Earth’s surface which not only causes frequent earthquakes, but is also responsible for the construction and upliftment of the Himalayan mountain range.
Nepal has a tragic history of seismic incidents, with a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in the most notable April 2015, in which about 9,000 people lost their lives.
