2026-11-05 16:56:25 UTC (1 hour ago) · approx. 9:56 PM UTC+5 local
On November 5, 2026 at 16:56 UTC, a magnitude 5.0 intermediate depth earthquake struck 130 km NE of Thang, India, at a depth of 76.9 km and coordinates 35.6318°, 77.9399°. This earthquake was detected by 75 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 385, placing it among routine seismic activity.
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.
