Earthquake

Map depicting regional tectonic plates

Kashmir lies in the area of collision of the Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates. The geological activity born out of this collision, also responsible for the birth of the Himalayan mountain range, is the cause of unstable seismicity in the region. 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.

Aftershocks

There were atleast five secondary earthquakes in the region, mainly near the original epicentre. A series of strong aftershocks occurred near Thathri, Bhaderwah, Bhalessa and Kishtwar.
