On September 19, 2021 at 19:24 UTC, a magnitude 5.0 intermediate depth earthquake struck 62 km SE of Phek, India, at a depth of 80.0 km and coordinates 25.2256°, 94.8803°.
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.
