Earthquake tremors shook several parts of India on the final day of 2025. The tremors were felt in Assam and Ladakh, causing brief panic among residents.
According to the National Center for Seismology, a 3.4-magnitude earthquake struck Assam’s Dima Hasao district at around 9:04 pm. The epicentre was located five kilometres below the surface, which made the tremors clearly noticeable.
Earlier in the evening, another earthquake hit Ladakh’s Leh region at 7:35 pm. Officials recorded its magnitude at 3.7 on the Richter scale. The quake originated at a depth of 10 kilometres.
Seismic activity was not limited to India. A 3.4-magnitude earthquake was reported in Tibet at around 3:26 pm. Scientists said the quake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometres. Experts noted that the Himalayan belt remains highly seismically active.
Japan also witnessed strong tremors hours before the New Year. The United States Geological Survey reported a 6.0-magnitude earthquake near Noda city on December 31. The epicentre lay about 91 kilometres east of the city at a depth of 19.3 kilometres.
Authorities confirmed no reports of casualties or damage. However, the tremors created fear among people across affected regions.
