At 04:23 a.m. IST on Tuesday, 6 October, seismographs recorded a 4.5‑magnitude earthquake beneath Assam’s Nagaon district, according to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS).
Depth and Coordinates
The rupture originated roughly 33 km beneath the Earth’s crust, with its epicentre positioned at 26.428° N latitude and 93.060° E longitude.
Impact on the Community
The sudden shaking woke residents, but authorities confirm that no injuries or structural damage have been reported. NCS has classified the event as a reviewed earthquake, verifying its magnitude, depth and location.
Earlier Seismic Event in Himachal Pradesh
Two days earlier, a separate tremor hit Una district in Himachal Pradesh. Recorded at 11:48 p.m. on 4 October, the NCS measured it at magnitude 2.5, emanating from a shallow depth of about 9 km.
Much like the Nagaon quake, the Una event caused no casualties or notable property damage.
Looking Forward
These back‑to‑back tremors underscore the importance of continuous seismic monitoring in India’s northeastern region. Officials will keep a close watch on after‑effects and will release updates if any new developments arise.
