Seismic Details and Regional Context

The tremor was relatively shallow at 10 km depth, which can sometimes result in stronger surface vibrations. However, officials confirmed that no casualties or structural damage have been reported so far. Arunachal Pradesh lies in a seismically active zone, with periodic low- to moderate-intensity earthquakes recorded across the northeastern region.

Earlier this month, NCS reported a 4.5 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar at 8:17 am. That tremor originated at a depth of 100 km, with coordinates 22.16° N latitude and 94.51° E longitude. No damage or casualties were reported in that incident either.

On February 3, Myanmar also experienced a stronger 6.0 magnitude earthquake at approximately 9:04 pm, followed by another tremor measuring 5.3 magnitude at 9:21 pm. Authorities continue to monitor seismic activity across the region.
