So far, we have received 5 reports for this quake from India. Out of these, 4 people indicated they felt it. The quake was reported to have been felt in up to approx. 200–300 km (124–186 mi) distance, with isolated cases to have felt the quake even 303 km (188 mi) away.Most reports came from Shillong (1 report), a city with more than 130,000 inhabitants in Meghalaya in 306 km (190 mi) distance west of the epicenter, India, Imphal (1 report), a city with more than 220,000 inhabitants in Manipur in 87 km (54 mi) distance west of the epicenter, India, and Morigaon (1 report) (295 km or 183 mi to the northwest) in Assam, India. Further below is a list of places where most people reported this quake.This section is being updated as new data comes in.User reports estimate the perceived ground shaking intensity according to the MMI (Modified Mercalli Intensity) scale.Contribute:Leave a comment if you find a particular report interesting or want to add to it.Flag as inappropriate.Mark as helpful or interesting.Send your own user report!TranslateBiswanath (270.7 km NNW of epicenter) [Map] / Weak shaking (MMI III) : I'm seting in the chiar Morigaon , assam,india (293 km NW of epicenter) [Map] / Weak shaking (MMI III) / rattling, vibrating / 1-2 s : Shaking Ukhrul (55.9 km NW of epicenter) [Map] / Weak shaking (MMI III) / rattling, vibrating / 1-2 s : On bed, felt two waves about five seconds apart Shillong, East Khasi Hills District, Meghalaya (303.6 km WNW of epicenter) [Map] / Weak shaking (MMI III) (reported through our app)443.9 km SW of epicenter [Map] / not felt (reported through our app)List of cities/places with most reportsPlaceDistance from epicenterAverage reported Shaking IntensityNr. of reportsShillong, Meghalaya, India(Pop.: 132,842)306 km (190 mi)W of epicenterIII: Weak shaking1Imphal, Manipur, India(Pop.: 223,523)87 km (54 mi)W of epicenterIII: Weak shaking1Morigaon, Assam, India(Pop.: 20,807)295 km (183 mi)NW of epicenterIII: Weak shaking1Note: Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (5 in total) could be used for statistics.What is Intensity and the Mercalli Intensity Scale?The amount of shaking that occurs on the surface due to an earthquake is called the intensity. It is commonly measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (not felt) to 10 (extreme shaking), and given in Roman numerals as I,II,...IX, X, and often displayed with color codes ranging from light blue to dark red.Earthquake intensity depends mainly on the magnitude and depth of the quake as well as the distance from the epicenter: The further away, the less shaking intensity occurs.Read more about the MMI scale!Number of reports by intensityShaking intensityNumber of reportsMin-Max distance from epicenter (*)Average distance (*)I: Not felt1443–443 km (276–276 mi)443 km (276 mi)III: Weak shaking356–293 km (35–182 mi)206 km (128 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (5 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.I didn't feel itI felt this quakeIf you were near the epicenter and felt it, please share your experience and submit a short "I felt it" report!

Your contribution is valuable to earthquake science and seismic hazard analysis.Compare Quake DataData for the same earthquake as reported by different agenciesThe more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data.

When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 6 km2 (2 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 4 km (3 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Sep 30, 2025 07:10 am (GMT +6:30)18 minutes ago - felt4.869 km0 km - This quakeSagaing Region, MyanmarMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 28 weeks after a magnitude 5.1 earthquake had hit on Tuesday, Mar 18, 2025, at 02:18 pm local time (Asia/Yangon GMT +6:30) in 47 km (29 mi) distance to the south:Mag. 5.1 earthquake 92 km northeast of Mawlaik - Sagaing Region, Myanmar - Mar 18, 2025 - The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 5.6.
