Several hours after a 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal, causing tremors in parts of North India on Tuesday, another earthquake with a magnitude of 4.3 occurred, and its vibrations were felt in Uttarakhand. The epicenter of this subsequent earthquake was also located in Nepal, approximately 200 kilometers southeast of the Uttarakhand town of Joshimath.
The National Center for Seismology (NCS) reported that this earthquake took place at a depth of 10 kilometers.
Remarkably, this event marked the fifth in a series of six earthquakes that transpired in Nepal within a span of just three hours. According to NCS records, the initial earthquake, measuring 4.6 in magnitude, struck at 2.25 pm, followed by a 3.9 magnitude quake at 5.23 pm. The most powerful of these quakes, registering at 6.2 in magnitude, occurred just minutes after the first one, specifically at 2.51 p.m.
The seismic activity resulting from the 6.2 magnitude earthquake was perceivable in various parts of North India, encompassing Delhi and its adjacent areas, Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh.
In a related development on Monday, Frank Hoogerbeets, a Dutch researcher known for accurately predicting earlier earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, took to X to discuss the possibility of an impending earthquake originating near Pakistan. Hoogerbeets, who conducts research at the Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS), highlighted reported atmospheric fluctuations occurring in regions near Pakistan as an "indicator of an upcoming stronger tremor."
