People likely experienced light shaking there. Several smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of  India, New Delhi, 6 km (3.7 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake was probably felt as light shaking.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected

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 3 km2 (1 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)May 28, 2026 05:33 am (Kolkata)5 minutes ago4.410 km0 km - This quakeSouth East, 6 km W of New Delhi, IndiaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 26 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 26.3 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 5 or higher: 0.05 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 21.7 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 2.6 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 10.6 quakes per yearMag. 2 or higher: 24.4 quakes per yearMag. 1 or higher: 32.7 quakes per year (or 2.7 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a moderate level of seismic activity. However, It has had at least 2 quakes above magnitude 5 since 2000, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 10 to 15 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
