Earthquake of magnitude 3.5 hits Ladakh

Earthquake of magnitude 3.5 hit Ladakh at around 10 pm on Tuesday, National Center for Seismology informed. The quake occurred just days after a strong earthquake of magnitude 6.3 had hit Tajikistan, while tremors for up to 30-40 seconds were felt in Delhi-NCR, other parts of north India.

Earlier on February 13, a strong earthquake rocked Jammu and Kashmir overnight as people ran out of their homes to escape being trapped with reports of several structures developing cracks due to the temblor.

There are reports of widespread panic caused by the earthquake with locals at many places in the Valley spending a sleepless night fearing after shocks.
