The epicentre of the earthquake was pinpointed at latitude 33.090 N and longitude 75.928 E, according to the National Centre for Seismology. This region is known for its seismic activity, having been upgraded to Seismic Zone VI as of December 2025, indicating a high likelihood of earthquakes.

The National Centre for Seismology confirmed the details, stating, “EQ of M: 4.6, on 12/04/2026 04:32:00 IST, Lat: 33.090 N, Long: 75.928 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Doda, Jammu and Kashmir.” This classification as a shallow earthquake aligns with data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

Historically, Jammu and Kashmir has been one of the most seismically active regions in the world, with numerous earthquakes recorded over the decades. The geological makeup of the area, combined with its location along tectonic plate boundaries, contributes to this activity.

Residents of Doda and surrounding areas felt the tremors, prompting many to check in with local authorities and emergency services. Fortunately, the quick response from these agencies has helped to reassure the public.

As of now, details remain unconfirmed regarding any aftershocks or further seismic activity. Observers are keeping a close watch on the situation, given the region’s history and the potential for subsequent quakes.

Authorities continue to monitor the seismic activity and are prepared to respond should the situation evolve. Residents are encouraged to stay informed through official channels and to be aware of safety protocols in the event of future earthquakes.

This earthquake serves as a reminder of the natural forces at play in Jammu and Kashmir, highlighting the importance of preparedness and awareness in a region prone to seismic events.
