It was centred near the town of Thathri, and also affected nearby Bhalessa and Bhaderwah areas in the same district and some areas of Jammu and Kashmir. It registered a moment of magnitude of 5.4 and had a maximum Mercalli intensity of VIII (Very Destructive). The earthquake tremors were also felt in Delhi also. The severity of the damage caused by the earthquake is attributed to severe upthrust. At least 4 people were injured and hundreds were displaced.

The National Centre for Seismology (NCS) measured its magnitude as a minimum of 5.4 on the moment magnitude scale, with its epicentre between Doda and Kishtwar districts surrounding Thathri town.

Intensity

The earthquake had a maximum Modified Mercalli intensity of VIII (Destructive) evaluated in an area around the epicentre, between the districts of Doda and Kishtwar. It was also assigned VIII on the Environmental Seismic Intensity scale.
