A magnitude 3.6 earthquake shook Kishtwar in Jammu and Kashmir at 8:53 am, as reported by the National Center for Seismology. The quake, at a depth of 5 km, prompted NCS to tweet the details. This follows a similar incident in central Assam yesterday, where a 3.6 magnitude earthquake hit East Karbi Anglong district. NCS, the Government of India's earthquake monitoring agency, continues its vigilance. No major damage reported in both cases, but locals in various districts felt the tremors. Earthquake preparedness remains crucial in seismic-prone regions.
