So far, we have received 3 reports for this quake from India. The quake was reported to have been felt in up to approx. 190 km (118 mi) distance, with isolated cases to have felt the quake even 192 km (119 mi) away.Most reports came from Kishtwar (1 report), a town with 21,000 inhabitants in Jammu and Kashmir in 32 km (20 mi) distance northwest of the epicenter, India, and Baramula (1 report) (194 km or 121 mi to the northwest), a town with 77,000 inhabitants. 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!TranslateBaramula, Bāramūla District, Jammu and Kashmir (192.5 km NW of epicenter) [Map] / Very weak shaking (MMI II) / 2-5 s : I was sleeping suddenly I felt that the glass of my almirah is vibrating Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir (32.6 km NNW of epicenter) [Map] / Weak shaking (MMI III) (reported through our app)Manali (150.4 km SE of epicenter) [Map] / Light shaking (MMI IV) / 2-5 sList of cities/places with most reportsPlaceDistance from epicenterAverage reported Shaking IntensityNr. of reportsKishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir, India(Pop.: 20,553)32 km (20 mi)NW of epicenterIII: Weak shaking1Baramula, Jammu and Kashmir, India(Pop.: 77,276)194 km (121 mi)NW of epicenterII: Very weak shaking1Note: Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (3 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 (*)II: Very weak shaking1192–192 km (119–119 mi)192 km (119 mi)III: Weak shaking133–33 km (20–20 mi)33 km (20 mi)IV: Light shaking1150–150 km (93–93 mi)150 km (93 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (3 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.Get the Android appI 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 4 km2 (2 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 3 km (2 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Apr 12, 2026 04:22 am (Kolkata)11 minutes ago - felt4.610 km0 km - This quakeDoda, Ladakh, 32 km SE of Kishtwar, Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir, IndiaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 56 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 52 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.02 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 62.5 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 0.54 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.9 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 6.8 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 30.9 quakes per year (or 2.6 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 51 quakes per year (or 4.2 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 2 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 60 to 65 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeLat / Lng: 33.056 / 75.914: Doda, Jammu And Kashmir, 91km E of Katra, Jammu And Kashmir, IndiaLat / Lng: 33.056 / 75.914: Doda, Jammu And Kashmir, 91km E of Katra, Jammu And Kashmir, India
