Srinagar, A 3.4 magnitude earthquake struck Leh, Ladakh in the Indian illegally occupied region of Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday morning. The tremors, while moderate, were significant enough to be felt by residents in the area.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the earthquake occurred early in the morning. The India’s National Centre for Seismology (NCS) reported that the quake had a depth of 5 km. This shallow depth potentially amplified the sensation of the tremors felt on the surface.
The earthquake in Leh, Ladakh, raises concerns about seismic activity in the region, known for its complex geology. Fortunately, no immediate reports of damage or casualties have emerged from this event. However, authorities remain vigilant, as the region is prone to seismic disturbances due to its geographical position.
