Tremors reported in multiple regions
The NCS said in two separate posts on X that other tremors were also recorded around the same time. An earthquake of magnitude 3.4 struck Bageshwar in Uttarakhand, while another quake measuring 4.4 was recorded in the Xinjiang region.
These early morning tremors were reported just days after a stronger earthquake shook parts of South and Southeast Asia.EQ of M: 3.4, On: 06/02/2026 07:48:37 IST, Lat: 30.05 N, Long: 80.05 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Bageshwar, Uttarakhand.

Recent Myanmar quake felt across borders
A few days earlier, a powerful earthquake of magnitude 5.9 had hit Myanmar. The impact of that quake was felt in several places, including Kolkata in India and Dhaka in Bangladesh. Like the Gonda earthquake, the Myanmar quake also occurred at a depth of 10 kilometres (6.21 miles), according to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ). Data from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) showed that the epicentre was about 70 miles east of Akyab in Myanmar.
Region remains earthquake-prone
Northern and southeastern parts of Bangladesh are known to be highly vulnerable to earthquakes. This is mainly because the India and Eurasia tectonic plates collide in this region, which increases the chances of seismic activity.
