Earthquake tremors were felt on Monday (September 08, 2025) in India’s neighboring country Bhutan, which was measured at 4.2. According to the National Center for Sismology (NCS), the earthquake occurred at only 10 km depth, which leads to the possibility of afterchox. NCS reported that the earthquake came on 8 September 2025 at 11:15 am. Its center was at 26.89 north latitude of Bhutan and 91.71 pre -longitude.

Bhutan’s seismic threat
Bhutan is located in the young ranges of the Himalayas, which makes it seismically sensitive. According to the Indian Sismic Code, Bhutan Zone comes in IV and V, which is the most active seismic region of the country. There are many active fault lines in Bhutan, which poses a risk of large earthquakes.

Earthquake also occurred in China
Earlier on Sunday (September 07, 2025), there was a 4.1 magnitude earthquake in China. This earthquake was also recorded at a depth of 10 km, due to which there is a possibility of afterchock. Explain that low -depth earthquakes often cause more damage than deep earthquakes.

Increase in other natural hazards
In Bhutan, not only earthquakes, but also natural disasters like floods, strong winds, landslides, sudden floods and forest and structural fire are also increasing from the glacier lake. Seasonal changes have intensified due to climate change. The storms in 2011 and 2013 caused heavy damage in rural areas.

Responsibility of government and citizens
The Bhutan government and the local administration have advised people to be vigilant. Rescue operations are being intensified in view of possible afterchox. Experts are also suggesting that earthquake-resistant construction techniques should be adopted and all citizens should stay in safe places.

Turkey earthquake: On June 3, a 6.2 magnitude earthquake occurred in the Dodecaneez Islands on the border of Greece and Türkiye. According to the European Mediterranean Earthquaker Center (EMSC), the earthquake was recorded at 2:17 pm (local time), which was 18 km from Rhodes and at a depth of 68 km.

Turkish disaster and emergency management Presidency (AFAD) reported that the center of the earthquake was in the Mediterranean Sea and its impact was seen 31 km south of the city of Marmaris. Due to shocks, people woke up from sleep and came out of their homes. According to the news agency AP, at least seven people were injured while running into panic.

Panic in people in Rhodes and surrounding areas

Turkish news channel NTV said that tremors were felt sharply and clearly in the surrounding areas including Rhodes, causing many people to leave the house at night. At present, there is no information about any major loss or loss of life. Local administration and emergency teams are active and assessing the situation. The administration has appealed to the people to remain calm and be cautious for subsequent shaking.

This area is sensitive
Both Türkiye and Greece are seismic sensitive areas. This area is located on major corruption lines like North Anatolion Fault Line. The region has already had serious earthquakes, Samos in Samos in 2020 has a 7.0 magnitude earthquake, a devastating earthquake in Rhodes in 1481 and more than 900 small earthquakes in Santorini region since February 2025.

Experts warning: Earthquake can also occur in future

According to earthquake experts, this earthquake of 6.2 magnitude was medium -ranked, but it was felt in a large area due to its shallow depth. According to the USGS, this is less likely to cause a big loss of life and property, but it is possible to fall small disadvantages such as a breakdown of windows or falling accessories. Experts have warned that more earthquakes may occur in this area in the field, so sustainable monitoring and preparations are needed.
