On April 21, 2026 at 00:29 UTC, a magnitude 5.0 intermediate depth earthquake struck 64 km E of Wāngjing, India, at a depth of 95.1 km and coordinates 24.6319°, 94.6985°. This earthquake was detected by 98 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 391, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 5.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 477 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.7 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
