There was a fierce earthquake in this neighboring country of India, people ran away from homes in panic, know how much intensity was on Richter scale

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.
