Overview
- Near Leh, the National Centre for Seismology recorded two earthquakes on Friday morning, first a magnitude 3.9 at 8:31 am IST and then a magnitude 4.7 at 10:10 am.
- The earlier tremor originated 10 km underground and the later one 28 km, which places both in the shallow 0–70 km range used by seismologists.
- Officials reported no injuries or property damage, and residents described brief shaking in parts of the city.
- The Indian Express cited an NCS post about a third tremor at 10:23 am measured at magnitude 4.8 and 44 km deep, a detail not included in other early reports.
- The Himalayan region sits where the Indian and Eurasian plates collide, which makes small, shallow quakes common and prompts agencies to keep close watch for further activity.
