Several locals of the city took to Twitter and reported that a loud sound was heard by people in the area forcing them to come out and see what happened. As per reports, it happened around 10:20 pm.
While the reasons being speculated include earthquake as well as a sonic boom, according to local media reports, it was caused by a dynamite blast in a stone quarry in Hunasodu village. The blast is reported to have been from a lorry that was carrying dynamites.
Besides Shivamogga, the sound was also said to have been heard in the Koppa and NR Pura areas of Chikkamagaluru district.

Meanwhile, the concerned authorities are yet to react to this fresh incident.
