On August 26, 2026 at 02:52 UTC, a magnitude 5.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 55 km NW of Kodāri̇̄, Nepal, at a depth of 0.0 km and coordinates 28.2710°, 85.5150°.0
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 951 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 2.3 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
