The quake comes less than 24 hours after another earthquake hit Arunachal Pradesh on Saturday. The magnitude of the quake was recorded at 3.4, and the depth stood at 12 kilometers.
The exact epicenter of the earthquake on Saturday was Latitude 28.78 N, Longitude 95.70 E.
There have been no immediate reports of damage or casualties resulting from the tremor. Arunachal Pradesh, situated in a seismically active zone, frequently experiences such low to moderate intensity earthquakes.

Earthquake of magnitude 3.8 jolts Afghanistan
Afghanistan was struck by a 3.8 magnitude earthquake on Sunday, following a 4.2 magnitude quake on Saturday. The shallow depth of Sunday's earthquake increases the risk of aftershocks and potential damage. Situated on active fault lines, Afghanistan is highly vulnerable to earthquakes, compounding challenges for communities already struggling with conflict and underdevelopment. Tired of too many ads?

Earthquake Today: Tremors of magnitude 3.8 jolts Afghanistan
An earthquake of magnitude 3.8 on the Richter Scale struck Afghanistan on Sunday, a statement by the National Center for Seismology (NCS) said. As per the NCS, the earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10km, making it susceptible to aftershocks.'EQ of M: 3.8, On: 08/06/2025 07:53:19 IST, Lat: 36.61 N, Long: 71.36 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Afghanistan," the NCS said in a post on X. Shallow earthquakes like this one are more dangerous than deeper ones due to their greater energy release closer to the Earth's surface. his causes stronger ground shaking and increased damage to structures and casualties, compared to deeper earthquakes, which lose energy as they travel to the surface. Earlier on Saturday, an earthquake of 4.2 magnitude jolted the region, NCS said. NCS shared details of the earthquake on X, 'EQ of M: 4.2, On: 07/06/2025 01:05:55 IST, Lat: 36.50 N, Long: 67.82 E, Depth: 126 Km, Location: Afghanistan.' Afghanistan has a history of powerful earthquakes, and the Hindu Kush Mountain range is a geologically active area where quakes occur every year, according to the Red Cross. Afghanistan sits on numerous fault lines between the Indian and the Eurasian tectonic plates, with a fault line also running directly through Herat. Its location on several active fault lines along the collision zone between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates makes it a seismically active region. These plates meet and collide, causing frequent seismic activity. As per the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), Afghanistan remains highly vulnerable to natural disasters, including seasonal flooding, landslides and earthquakes. These frequent earthquakes in Afghanistan cause damage to vulnerable communities, which are already grappling with decades of conflict and under-development and have left them with little resilience to cope with multiple simultaneous shocks, UNOCHA noted.
