On August 5, 2026 at 10:06 UTC, a magnitude 5.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 60 km NNE of Shi Yomi, India, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 29.0027°, 94.6810°. This earthquake was detected by 68 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 385, 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.
