Earthquake today: Tremors felt in Delhi-NCR as quake hits Jhajjar in Haryana
Earthquake today: Tremors were felt in Delhi-NCR on Friday, July 11, 2025, at around 8 pm after a 3.7-magnitude earthquake struck Jhajjar, Haryana, according to the National Center of Seismology. This was the second earthquake to strike the National Capital Region (NCR) within two days. A strong earthquake struck Delhi-NCR at approximately 9 a.m. on Thursday, July 10. According to the National Center for Seismology, it measured 4.4 on the Richter Scale and had its epicentre in Jhajjar, Haryana. (This is a developing story. Check back for more updates.)

Nepal hit by magnitude 3.5 earthquake, second in a week
An earthquake of magnitude 3.5 hit Nepal on Sunday morning, as reported by the National Center of Seismology (NCS). Shallow earthquakes are more dangerous than deeper ones due to their greater energy release closer to the Earth's surface.(Representational image) As per the NCS, the earthquake occurred at 8:21 AM Indian Standard Time (IST). It struck at a depth of 10 kilometres on 27.70 N Latitude and 87.76 Longitude. The NCS wrote, 'EQ of M: 3.5, On: 06/07/2025 08:21:30 IST, Lat: 27.70 N, Long: 87.76 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Nepal.' Earlier on June 29, an earthquake of magnitude 4.2 had struck Nepal, as reported by the NCS. There were no immediate reports of casualties or major damage. Further details are awaited. Shallow earthquakes are more dangerous than deeper ones due to their greater energy release closer to the Earth's surface, causing stronger ground shaking and increased damage to structures and casualties, compared to deeper earthquakes, which lose energy as they travel to the surface. Nepal is highly earthquake-prone due to its location on a convergent boundary where the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates collide. This collision generates immense pressure and stress, which is released as earthquakes. Nepal is also situated in a subduction zone where the Indian Plate is sliding beneath the Eurasian Plate, further increasing stress and strain. Nepal lies in the Himalayan region, a zone of intense seismic activity caused by the ongoing collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. This collision results in the Indian plate pushing beneath the Eurasian plate in a process called subduction, creating immense pressure and strain on the Earth's crust. The subduction zone further amplifies the stress, making Nepal highly vulnerable to earthquakes. The collision also contributes to the uplift of the Himalayan mountains, adding to the overall seismic activity in the region. Nepal has a long history of earthquakes, including devastating events like the 2015 earthquake.

Earthquake of magnitude 4.2 hits Pakistan
Representative image An earthquake of magnitude 4.2 on the Richter scale hit Pakistan on Friday, as per the National Center of Seismology (NCS). According to the NCS, the earthquake took place in a depth of 180 km from the origin point. Till now, no casualties have been reported. 'EQ of M: 4.2, On: 30/05/2025 13:37:52 IST, Lat: 32.57 N, Long: 69.82 E, Depth: 180 Km, Location: Pakistan.' NCS said in a statement shared on X. This is the third earthquake to hit the South Asian nation in the past four days. Earlier on Thursday, Pakistan was jolted by an earthquake of 4.4 magnitude. As per NCS the earthquake occurred 10km depth from the origin.
