A shallow 3.6‑magnitude tremor was recorded in Bageshwar district of Uttarakhand, with no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) logged a 3.6‑magnitude earthquake centered in Bageshwar, a district in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand. The tremor was shallow and registered on the national seismic network shortly after it occurred.
Local officials in Bageshwar were promptly notified and have begun preliminary inspections. As of now, there are no confirmed reports of structural damage, injuries, or casualties linked to the quake.
Residents in nearby towns reported feeling a brief shaking, but the intensity was low enough that daily activities continued without major disruption. Authorities have advised the public to remain vigilant and follow standard safety guidelines for any aftershocks.
The IMD noted that such low‑magnitude events are relatively common in the seismically active Himalayan region and do not typically pose a serious threat, though they serve as a reminder of the area's geological volatility.
