On June 18, 2026 at 15:29 UTC, a magnitude 4.5 shallow crustal earthquake struck 19 km SSE of Kakching, India, at a depth of 52.1 km and coordinates 24.3478°, 94.0847°. This earthquake was detected by 42 seismic stations with good location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 312, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 85 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 767 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
