Imphal: A 5.2 magnitude earthquake struck Kamjong district in Manipur early Tuesday morning, sending strong tremors across the region. The quake was recorded at 5:59 am, according to official data from the National Center for Seismology (NCS).

Tremors were felt in and around Kamjong, triggering panic among residents. The sudden shaking was strong enough to wake people from their sleep, prompting many to rush out of their homes and gather in open areas for safety.

According to the NCS, the earthquake originated at a depth of around 62 kilometres beneath the earth’s surface, classifying it as a mid-depth seismic event. Such earthquakes are often felt over a wider area, though their impact on the surface is usually less severe compared to shallow quakes.

Despite the intensity of the tremors, there have been no immediate reports of casualties or significant damage.
