On September 25, 2021 at 04:41 UTC, a magnitude 5.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 206 km N of Shi Yomi, India, at a depth of 31.6 km and coordinates 30.3557°, 94.7747°.

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.
