3.6 quake 21 Mar 6:19 am (GMT +5:30)

An earthquake of magnitude 3.6 occurred early morning on Thursday, March 21st, 2024, at 5:49 am local time near Basmath, Hingoli District, Maharashtra, India, as reported by India's National Center for Seismology (NCS).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 10 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.6 earthquake as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Basmath (pop. 64,000) located 19 km from the epicenter, Nanded (pop. 550,600) 28 km away, Kalamnūri (pop. 22,700) 29 km away, Hingoli (pop. 75,900) 39 km away, Pūrna (pop. 34,900) 40 km away, Umarkhed (pop. 35,300) 44 km away, and Parbhani (pop. 289,600) 60 km away. In Pusad (pop. 71,600, 62 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
