4.3 quake 26 Sep 4:30 pm (GMT +5:30)

An earthquake of magnitude 4.3 occurred only 14 minutes ago 34 km northwest of Hojai, India, India's National Center for Seismology (NCS) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 25 km beneath the epicenter near Hojai, Assam, India, in the afternoon on Thursday, September 26th, 2024, at 4:00 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 4.3 earthquake as well.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Morigaon (pop. 20,800) located 24 km from the epicenter, Hojai (pop. 36,900) 34 km away, and Dhing (pop. 20,800) 39 km away.
