So far, we have received 3 reports for this quake from India. The quake was reported to have been felt in up to approx. 180 km (112 mi) distance, with isolated cases to have felt the quake even 184 km (114 mi) away.Most reports came from Guwahati (3 reports), a city of 1 million people in Assam in 182 km (113 mi) distance east of the epicenter, 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!TranslateGuwahati (181.2 km E of epicenter) [Map] / Very weak shaking (MMI II)183.1 km E of epicenter [Map] / Weak shaking (MMI III) / rattling, vibrating / 2-5 s : Mild earthquake 183.8 km E of epicenter [Map] / Weak shaking (MMI III) (reported through our app)List of cities/places with most reportsPlaceDistance from epicenterAverage reported Shaking IntensityNr. of reportsGuwahati, Assam, India(Pop.: 962,334)182 km (113 mi)E of epicenterIII: Weak shaking3Note: 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 shaking1181–181 km (112–112 mi)181 km (112 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 1 km2 (0 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 2 km (1 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Sep 8, 2026 09:57 am (GMT +5:30)12 minutes ago - felt4.110 km0 km - This quakeSouth Salmara Mancachar, 182 km W of Guwahati, Kamrup Metropolitan, Assam, 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 26.5 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 5 or higher: 0.12 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 8.5 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 2.3 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 10.3 quakes per yearMag. 2 or higher: 25.9 quakes per yearThe area where this quake occurred has a moderate level of seismic activity. However, It has had at least 7 quakes above magnitude 5 since 1970, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 5 to 10 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 8 weeks after a magnitude 4.3 earthquake had hit on Sunday, Jul 12, 2026, at 12:00 pm local time (Asia/Kolkata GMT +5:30) in 92 km (57 mi) distance to the southeast:Mag. 4.3 earthquake East Garo Hills - 155 km southeast of Koch Bihar, India - Jul 12, 2026 -The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 5.3.
