2026-08-08 16:30:57 UTC (1 day ago) · approx. 9:30 PM UTC+5 local
On August 8, 2026 at 16:30 UTC, a magnitude 3.8 shallow crustal earthquake struck 30 km N of Trimbak, India, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 20.2095°, 73.5696°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.8 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 7.6 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 252 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
