• A 4.0 magnitude earthquake struck Delhi-NCR around 5:36 am on Monday, causing strong tremors felt across Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, and Ghaziabad, prompting residents of high-rise buildings to evacuate their homes; the epicenter was near Durgabai Deshmukh College in Dhaula Kuan at a depth of five kilometers.
• No immediate reports of damage or injuries emerged following the Delhi earthquake, although a loud sound accompanied the tremors; this seismic activity follows previous minor earthquakes in the region, including a 3.3 magnitude quake in 2015, and is attributed to Delhi's location near the seismically active Himalayan collision zone.
• Later that morning, another 4.0 magnitude earthquake hit Siwan district in Bihar at 8:02 am, as reported by the National Center for Seismology; Prime Minister Modi urged citizens to remain calm and follow safety precautions in response to the tremors.
• The Delhi Police reassured citizens via social media, and the events follow recent seismic activity in the region, including tremors felt in Delhi-NCR after earthquakes in Xinjiang, China, and Afghanistan; Delhi's location in Seismic Zone IV contributes to its moderate to high risk of experiencing earthquakes.
