On September 11, 2026 at 17:56 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 intermediate depth earthquake struck 34 km WNW of Sarupathar, India, at a depth of 124.2 km and coordinates 26.3399°, 96.4986°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 21 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 406 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
