Tremors were felt in Assam, Manipur, and Nagaland after a 4.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, sparking mild panic among residents.
The quake, originating from Myanmar, was recorded in the early hours and was strong enough to be experienced across several northeastern states of India.
According to seismic reports, the earthquake had a magnitude of 4.7 on the Richter scale, with its epicenter located in Myanmar. Due to the geographical proximity of India’s northeastern states to Myanmar, the tremors spread to regions of Assam, Manipur, and Nagaland. Residents reported experiencing shaking for a few seconds, which created a brief sense of panic, especially in urban areas with high-rise buildings.
Authorities have confirmed that there have been no immediate reports of casualties or significant damage in the affected areas. However, the incident serves as a reminder of the region’s vulnerability to seismic activities, as Northeast India lies in a high earthquake-prone zone.
Disaster management teams are closely monitoring the situation, while experts have advised residents to remain cautious and follow safety protocols during such tremors. The recurring quakes in this region highlight the importance of preparedness and earthquake-resilient infrastructure to minimize risks in the future.
