GUWAHATI: A moderate earthquake measuring 5.1 on the Richter Scale struck parts of Assam and neighbouring northeastern states on Friday morning at approximately 10 am.

According to the National Center for Seismology (NCS), the earthquake’s epicentre was located in Myanmar, at a depth of 127 kms beneath the Earth’s surface.

The tremors were mild but noticeable across several regions in Assam and potentially other northeastern states, although the NCS has yet to confirm the full extent of the seismic activity.

Fortunately, there have been no immediate reports of casualties or property damage from the tremor.

Authorities confirmed that the earthquake caused no significant destruction despite the brief shaking felt in some areas.

This incident is the latest in a series of seismic activities reported in the region this week. On Thursday afternoon, a mild earthquake of magnitude 3.9 was recorded in western and southwestern Sikkim.

Its epicentre was 10 kms deep, located approximately 264 kms from Tadong. While the tremor caused no harm, it served as another reminder of the region’s tectonic activity.

Similarly, earlier in the week, Manipur’s Churachandpur district experienced a 3.1 magnitude earthquake.

Despite the occurrence, no major damage or casualties were reported. These repeated seismic events highlight the northeastern region’s vulnerability, as it lies in one of India’s most seismically active zones.

Assam, in particular, has witnessed significant seismic activity in recent months. Reports from November 2024 indicated that Assam experienced 12 earthquakes, the highest among all Indian states for that month.

Uttarakhand recorded the second-highest number with four earthquakes.

In October 2024, Assam was hit by six tremors, underscoring the state’s susceptibility to frequent quakes.

While the recent tremors caused no harm, they serve as a stark reminder of the region’s geological sensitivity.

Authorities continue to emphasise the importance of preparedness and vigilance to mitigate risks associated with potential high-magnitude earthquakes in the future.
