An earthquake of magnitude 3.5 on the Richter scale struck Churachandpur district in Manipur during the early hours of Monday, according to the National Center for Seismology (NCS).
In a post on X, NCS said, "EQ of M: 3.5, On: 02/06/2025 02:55:39 IST, Lat: 24.08 N, Long: 93.61 E, Depth: 15 Km, Location: Churachandpur, Manipur."
The tremor was recorded at a depth of 15 kilometres beneath the surface.
On May 28, an earthquake of magnitude 3.9 on the Richter scale had struck Churachandpur region of Manipur, according to the National Center for Seismology (NCS).
As per NCS, the earthquake's tremors occurred at 10:23 am at a depth of 36 km and were recorded at a latitude of 24.55 North and a longitude of 93.70 East.
"EQ of M: 3.9, On: 28/05/2025 10:23:55 IST, Lat: 24.55 N, Long: 93.70 E, Depth: 36 Km, Location: Churachandpur, Manipur," the NCS stated on X.

Earthquake of 4.2 magnitude jolts China
Beijing [China], June 4 (ANI): An earthquake of magnitude 4.2 struck China early Wednesday morning, the National Centre for Seismology (NCS) said in a statement. According to the NCS, the quake occurred at a shallow depth of 10 km, which makes it more likely to be followed by aftershocks. In a post on X, the NCS said, 'EQ of M: 4.2, On: 04/06/2025 04:43:08 IST, Lat: 33.73 N, Long: 81.99 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: China.' Shallow earthquakes like these are more dangerous than deeper ones due to their greater energy release closer to the Earth's surface. This causes stronger ground shaking and increased damage to structures and casualties, compared to deeper earthquakes, which lose energy as they travel to the surface. The collision of India with the rest of Asia has led to seismic activity throughout Western China, particularly in Tibet and the Yunnan, Xinjiang, Sichuan, Gansu and Qinghai provinces. However, these regions in comparison with Eastern China have a low population density. These areas also in general have poorer transport and building codes. Throughout China, poor building codes increases the damage and loss of life from earthquakes. The northern regions of Eastern China are not as seismically active as the western areas of the country, but earthquakes are still possible in this area. China has been the location of some of the deadliest earthquakes in history. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed by magnitude 8.0 earthquakes in 1303 in Hongdong and 1556 in Shaanxi. This Shaanxi earthquake killed about 8,30,000 people, many dying with the collapses of their underground homes built into loess banks and cliffs. The 20th century saw 2,73,400 people killed in the 1920 Haiyuan earthquake and a magnitude 8.6 earthquake in 1950, the largest recorded earthquake in China. In 2008 the magnitude 8.0 2008 Sichuan earthquake killed 87,587 people. Earthquake prediction was popular between 1966 and 1976, which overlapped with the Cultural Revolution. This reached its height with the successful prediction of the 1975 Haicheng earthquake. This earthquake had a prominent series of fore-shocks and authorities who were eager to issue a warning. However, very few earthquakes have both these criteria. The unpredictable and devastating Tangshan earthquake in 1976 led to a reduction of the popularity of earthquake prediction in China. (ANI)

Powerful 6.2-Magnitude Earthquake Hits Greece's Islands, Tremors Felt In Turkey
Last Updated: Seven people were being treated for injuries after jumping from windows or balconies in panic but there was no immediate report of any serious damage A strong earthquake measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale struck Greece's islands early Tuesday, causing tremors that were also felt across neighbouring Turkey. The quake, centred in the Dodecanese Islands region near the Turkish border, was reported at a depth of 68 kilometres. Residents in both countries were awakened by the shaking, but no immediate reports of major damage have emerged. Meanwhile, a 5.8-magnitude earthquake was recorded in Turkey's Mediterranean coastal town of Marmaris. Officials said that one died, a 14-year-old girl, and several people were injured as they tried to flee their homes in panic. 'A 14-year-old girl died following a panic attack and some 70 people were hurt in the Mugla province as they rushed to find safety, including 'some who jumped from a height", Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on X. There were no initial reports of buildings destroyed in residential areas, he added. 'In Fethiye, a 14-year-old girl named Afranur Gunlu was taken to the hospital due to a panic attack but, unfortunately, despite all interventions, she passed away," Yerlikaya said. According to Turkey's Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD), the earthquake hit at 2:17 a.m. local time and was centred in the Mediterranean Sea. 'There is currently no negative situation following the 5.8 magnitude #deprem earthquake that occurred at 02:17 off the coast of Marmaris, Muğla, Mediterranean and was felt in the provinces of Muğla, Aydın, Denizli, Manisa and İzmir. Field scanning work continues," Turkey's AFAD updated in a post on X. Marmaris Governor Idris Akbiyik told Turkish media that the injuries happened when people jumped from windows and balconies in fear, and confirmed that there was no immediate report of any serious damage. Turkey lies on several major fault lines and experiences frequent earthquakes. The country is still recovering from the devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake in 2023, which killed over 53,000 people and damaged hundreds of thousands of buildings across 11 provinces in the south and southeast. In neighbouring Syria, around 6,000 people also lost their lives in that disaster. (With inputs from agencies) Location : Turkey First Published: June 03, 2025, 07:46 IST
