An earthquake of magnitude 3.5 struck Nepal on Sunday morning, according to the national center of seismology (NCS).
The tremor occurred at 8.21 am IST at a depth of 10 kilometres, with its epicenter located at 27.70°N latitude and 87.76°E longitude.
The NCS posted on X, "EQ of M: 3.5, On: 06/07/2025 08:21:30 IST, Lat: 27.70 N, Long: 87.76 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Nepal."
There were no immediate reports of casualties or major damage.
This comes just a week after a 4.2 magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal on June 29, as per NCS data.
Shallow earthquakes like this one can be more dangerous due to the release of energy closer to the surface, causing stronger ground shaking and a higher risk of damage.
Nepal is prone to frequent earthquakes as it lies on the convergent boundary of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. The Indian plate is gradually sliding beneath the Eurasian plate in a process known as subduction, creating immense pressure and strain in the region. This tectonic activity not only causes frequent earthquakes but also contributes to the uplift of the Himalayan mountains.
Nepal has a long history of seismic activity, including the devastating 2015 earthquake.
