A robust earthquake of 6.1 magnitude was felt near Nepal’s Kathmandu early Friday (February 28, 2025) morning.
However, there was no instant report of any injury or causality from the earthquake.
An earthquake measuring 6.1 Magnitude in Richter scale was recorded alongside Kodari Highway in Sindhupalchowk district, 65 km East of Kathmandu at 2.51 am, in line with National Earthquake Monitoring and Research Centre.
The Earthquake was felt in and round Kathmandu valley.
Nepal lies in one of the vital lively tectonic zones (Seismic zones IV and V), making the nation extraordinarily weak to earthquakes.
The worst quake the Himalayan nation has up to now witnessed was in 2015 throughout which a 7.8 magnitude earthquake killed greater than 9,000 folks and broken over 1 million constructions.
