So far, we have received 5 reports for this quake from  India and  Pakistan. The quake was reported to have been felt in up to approx. 350 km (217 mi) distance.Most reports came from Srinagar (2 reports), a city of 1.2 million people in Jammu and Kashmir in 334 km (207 mi) distance southwest of the epicenter, India, Badamibagh (1 report), a town with 22,000 inhabitants in 331 km (206 mi) distance southwest of the epicenter, India, and Yougu (1 report) (169 km or 105 mi to the west), a town with 6,000 inhabitants in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.

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 shaking1341–341 km (212–212 mi)341 km (212 mi)III: Weak shaking1169–169 km (105–105 mi)169 km (105 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (5 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!

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 10 km2 (4 square miles) as a first-order estimate.
