Breaking News: Jammu and Kashmir Shaken by Sequential Earthquake Tremors | ABP News

On Tuesday morning, August 20, the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir experienced a series of earthquakes that jolted the region. The first tremor registered a magnitude of 4.9 on the Richter scale, followed by a second quake with a magnitude of 4.6. The dual tremors caused significant alarm among the residents of the valley. Fortunately, there have been no reports of casualties or significant property damage so far. However, the quakes created a sense of fear and panic among the people. It is common for aftershocks, which are less intense than the initial quake, to follow the primary tremor. In this instance, it appears that the second, less severe quake acted as an aftershock following the initial, more powerful tremor. Following the earthquakes, many residents were seen evacuating their homes, with visible signs of fear on their faces. The tremors have heightened concerns about the region's seismic activity and safety.
