So far, we have received 1 report for this quake from India.It came from near Nongthymmai, a town with 38,000 inhabitants in Meghalaya in 219 km (136 mi) distance northwest of the epicenter, India.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!Translateshillong (219.3 km NW of epicenter) [Map] / Weak shaking (MMI III) / 2-5 s : Windows, doors and floor creaking. didn't last long (reported through our app) List of cities/places with most reportsPlaceDistance from epicenterAverage reported Shaking IntensityNr. of reportsNongthymmai, Meghalaya, India(Pop.: 38,004)219 km (136 mi)NW of epicenterIII: Weak shaking1Note: Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (1 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!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!

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 2 km2 (1 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 2 km (2 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Apr 7, 2026 12:53 am (Kolkata)14 minutes ago4.337 km0 km - This quakePherzawl, 6.2 km W of Churachandpur, Churachandpur, Manipur, 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 47 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.06 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 15.9 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 0.66 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.5 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 9.6 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 35.2 quakes per year (or 2.9 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 47 quakes per year (or 3.9 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 8 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 15 to 20 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
