Overview
- The National Centre for Seismology confirmed a magnitude 4.2 earthquake struck Uttarkashi district on Saturday, October 10.
- The agency published the event’s coordinates (30.744°N, 78.414°E) and recorded a focal depth of 11 kilometres.
- Authorities and news outlets reported no injuries or damage at the time of reporting and said they were continuing to watch the area.
- The Uttarkashi quake is the second seismic event in the state on Saturday after a 2.8-magnitude tremor in Bageshwar and follows a 4.9-magnitude temblor in Chamoli on October 6.
- Shallow Himalayan quakes often produce stronger local shaking, so officials say residents should be alert for aftershocks and follow guidance from local authorities and the NCS.
