An earthquake of 5.9-magnitude with its epicentre in Tibet’s Dinggye, shook several parts of Nepal, including the Kathmandu Valley on Saturday afternoon at 3:37 pm.
An official at the National Seismological Centre in Kathmandu said that the quake having its epicentre at Tibet’s Dinggye, around 80-85 kilometers north of Nepal’s Sankhuwasabha.
“This is an aftershock of the recent quake in Tibet that shook various parts of Nepal as well in January,” said the official.
However, no damage or casualties have been reported in Nepal so far. Nepal, located in a seismically active region along the Himalayan fault line, is prone to earthquakes due to the ongoing collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. The country has experienced several devastating quakes in the past, including a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in 2015 which caused widespread destruction and loss of life.
