On October 12, 2026 at 01:28 UTC, a magnitude 4.8 intermediate depth earthquake struck 56 km E of Yairipok, India, at a depth of 78.2 km and coordinates 24.7203°, 94.6022°. This earthquake was detected by 65 seismic stations with good location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 354, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.8 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 239 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.2 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
