5.2 magnitude earthquake hits Kargil, Ladakh

A 5.2 magnitude earthquake struck Kargil, Ladakh, at 2:50 AM on March 14, 2025. The quake occurred at a depth of 15 kilometers, according to the National Center for Seismology. Ladakh is located in a high-risk seismic zone, making it vulnerable to earthquakes. The region frequently experiences tremors due to its position in the tectonically active Himalayas. In February, a 5.0 magnitude earthquake was reported in Assam's Morigaon district, with tremors felt in Guwahati.
