An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 occurred early on Tuesday morning, October 6th, 2026, at 3:53 am local time near Nagaon, Nagaon district, Assam, India, according to India’s National Center for Seismology (NCS).According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a moderately shallow depth of 33. km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.A second report was later issued by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed it as a magnitude 4.7 earthquake. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 4.5.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage but was probably felt by many people as light vibrations in the area of the epicenter. Weak shaking might have been felt in Dokmoka (pop. 5,500), located 24 km from the epicenter; Biswanath Chariali (pop. 19,100), 34 km away; Tezpur (pop. 75,500), 34 km away; Nagaon (pop. 121,600), 40 km away; Hojai (pop. 36,900), 51 km away; Lanka (pop. 36,800), 57 km away; and Diphu (pop. 61,800), 75 km away.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update the magnitude and depth if they change and follow up if other significant news about the quake becomes available.
